	As I'm sure many people will point out, the linux guy sure did
come down on FreeBSD pretty hard at times.

	To the interviewer's credit I think he did an excellent job of not
falling into an OS bashing mode.  After hearing the linux guy I was
concerned that the interviewer was going to expect Jordan to answer these
issues that were brought up, to be put on the defensive.  However I don't
think he did, as far as the interviewer is concerned I think it was a very
fair interview.

	If anything it made the guy from VA Linux look bad because out of
the three people ( Linux, FreeBSD, and the interviewer ), the linux guy
was the only one who spent large amounts of timing bashing.  ( Of course
NT bashing is open to all :-)
