Well, 'millions' would be pushingit, but, yes, it is likely there would
be more spin-offs along the lines of PC-BSD or pfsense if *BSD was as
popular as Linux.

Note though that 'distro' doesn't translate into *BSD terms in quite the
same way you'ld expect.  FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonflyBSD, Darwin
are all *BSDs but they aren't distros in the Linux sense -- they are
complete stand-alone OSes.  Things like PC-BSD and pfsense are arguably
'distros' of FreeBSD.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
