Hi! First and foremost I'd like to present myself, I'm a young and naive = junior sys admin that think people should be able to compromise and see the = bigger picture and the good of the cause. Now over to the reason for my post. As all of you probably know there's a lot of buzz around Gnu/Linux these days and I'm pretty sure you couldn't care less. What I'm wondering is = why the BSD community which from what I can gather isn't as big as the Linux community have decided to split their resources into several different projects/forks/distributions. To me it seems *BSD would be in a more competitive shape if all developers would get in under one roof? Am I bat crap crazy for thinking it could be good to merge the four = largest BSD variants out there, take the best bits and pieces out of each and = create a Unified BSD?
