Well, there's not much one can expect from the answer: Linus is the wrong person to give opinions on how good or bad the BSD community is. I do think that in an OS the technical issues are more important than the "surrounding community", especially when you never get to really meet in person most of these guys. I wouldn't use any OS just because the developers are good buddies and everyone loves free software: I am looking for quality and for that feeling that I am doing the right thing. That said, the BSD guys I've met are excellent people (the finnest, in my limited opinion). Just my $0.02. Pedro.
