See, my opinion has always been that this is what separates the average BSD u= ser from the Linux user.=20 In my experience, I've found BSD users are BSD users because they have a gen= uine love for UNIX (like OSes).=20 Many of the Linux users I have met are really decamped Windows users who are= just using Linux because they're jealous of Bill and his fortunes (hence th= e Micro$oft) or hate Microsoft for some other reason.=20 They're not using Linux because they like it. They're just escaping from Win= dows. My favourite piece of art on the Internet is the one where the girl is looki= ng sweet and innocent - holding a mallet behind her back and there's Tux kno= cked out, and she's standing next to a sign that reads 'A LITTLE BSD NEVER H= URT ANYONE...' I think that sums it up! ;)
