I do seem to recall someone saying that he thought Linus was cuter
though.
(Wait...maybe the comparison was with Bill Gates and not the
FreeBSDaemon...damn this early-age senility!)

I know...I mailed a copy of it to Matt Mead--we good-naturedly pick on
each other a fair bit about Linux & FreeBSD--and then he went and sent
it to a FreeBSD mailing list. Bad Matt! Bad! (Then again, the message
originally appeared on the linux-kernel list so it's not like it was a
"secret" or anything....)

True. *sigh* Sometimes I think the Linux community has gotten a bit big
for my tastes now. (I especially feel this way when I look at the size
of my security mailing lists for Linux. *Way* too big....)
