Moreover, I've got the impression lots of people truly believe Linux is just another name for Unix. And I do know for a fact that there are people who even believe Unix is another name for Linux. With such ideas, I guess it's easy to assume FreeBSD is just another Linux distro. Isn't it time we try to correct this? I try to do my part in that respect, by explaining to anyone who says, "Oh, you're running Linux?" that there is a difference. And that the difference matters. It may not matter to them. But it does matter to me. And I think it matters to most FreeBSD users. And I also believe it actually matters to Linux users, at least the more serious ones.
