God I love a good religious battle, don't you? I agree with Jordan - this is getting quite out of hand. Just remember people - Linux is *NOT* an Operating system in itself. FreeBSD *IS* because when you get FreeBSD you get the kernel, binaries, sources, man pages, blah blah blah. Linux isn't like that. The Linux operating system comes about when you install particular distribution. Linux is more flexible, which I think contributes to its success. Someone said "hey, I don't like how thats done, so lets do it differently", and out comes a distribution. People have that choice. Please, this isn't a "My OS is better/bigger than your OS" discussion/arguement/whatnot, and I think its delved a lot more off the original thread. Both linux and FreeBSD have their good and bad points, and unless you are going to constructively point them out, don't say anything. -- Adrian Chadd | UNIX, MS-DOS and Windows ... <adrian@psinet.net.au> | (also known as the Good, the bad and the | ugly..)
