Not so. In fact, it has embraced far too many GNU userland utilities, and has a Linux emulator which (alas) has discouraged the creation of native ports of applications. I personally have nothing against Linux qua Linux, but rather believe that it is unethical to promote it because it is GPLed. On the other hand, far too many adherents of Linux and the GPL would like to destroy the BSDs, because they thwart the FSF's goal: to leave users with no choice. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
