In light of some recent attention to ESR's book, "The Cathedral and The Bazaar", on some Slashdot posts, maybe you might point out the differences [and similarities] between Linux and FreeBSD in that context as you answer the above questions.

Seems to me that's when there will be some marked differences, indeed. Dave -- Windows: "Where do you want to go today?" Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
