And the part > about "most used for low-end workstation": Actually, I thought that FBSD was used more for high-end workstations, leaving the low-end segment to Linux. This would explain why FBSD appears to have more support for high-end devices. :-\ Then again, I wouldn't spend too much time on it, not for a page that touts "64-bits" as part of the OS. I also note that they don't list NetBSD, which would obviously shame Linux when it comes to the "# of platforms" category. -- Jonathan
