Well.. this is because we are not an alternative OS. We are THE
OS. :) While you were getting cleaned up from your break in, we quickly
took over the MS and replaced all the NT systems with FreeBSD (and Win95
with Linux -- they are not that evil). So, now everyone is against FreeBSD
because we are the only dominant OS on the market.
Ohh shit.. this is 10 years from now and I promised my psychic I
wouldn't tell.
