Well, some see it that way, some think it's offensive. I know I wouldn't apply, and after my ranting, I doubt he'd want me - I'm obviously not subserviant enough to handle his god-complex. > And don't pick on New Jersey, Paul.

I've never been, so can't really comment on it. > What part of the kernel magically makes FreeBSD people smarter, less > lazy, or better looking? It's not the kernel. It's the attitude. I've worked with slashdotters and MCSEs who've never seen the inside of a PC, never mind know what a rack server is. My own experience, I say FreeBSD guys just tend to be better admins for some reason. There must be something about the attitude of the project as a whole that rubs off or appeals to the better admins. I don't know. Yes, I'm being subjective and offensive to MCSEs and Linux guys, but no more so than the original poster was to us. > I was impressed that he was concerned with people-skills.
