> "is freebsd better than linux" kind of question is perfectly legitimate. "Is FreeBSD more suitible as a desktop system with a 200mHz pentium-pro and a 4 gigabyte hard-drive than windows 3.11 on dos 6.22 on vmware on top of Solaris 10?" is perfectly legitimate. "Is FreeBSD better than Slackware?" is legitimate. "Is FreeBSD better than a generic kernel stuck onto an unknown useland being packaged by a 14-year-old AOL subscriber?" is probably legitimate. "Is FreeBSD better than *?" is not. > If we as the FreeBSD community cannot answer that question, then why > are we wasting our time with it? I think this is a false dichotomy. Either that or I'm going to die tomorrow. --
