Sheesh, Ted, you make the Linux users sound like a bunch of little bitches or something. Not that I think your point was invalid, but this was a funny way of phrasing it. That "Mary can you help me" line just has me imagining a group of Linux users sitting around doing each others nails or something. Anyway, I do get the sense from my readings that Linux users like feeling a part of something revolutionary, and that sense of community is big part of their choice for the OS. BSD folks just seem to either (a) appreciate well-designed technology or (b) just want to get something done. But changing the world is at best a by-product of real work for us. --Chip Morton At 02:43 AM 6/15/2001, you wrote: >[snip] >Liken the Linux community as a gaggle of hens and BSD as a group of >roosters. >Or, a sexist explanation is BSD is a bunch of he-men saying "leave me >alone I'll do it myself" and Linux is a bunch of women saying "Oh this >doesen't work, Mary can you help me?" >[snip] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
