Oy! Traif! ;-) [For those of you not versed in Jewish lore, the word 
"traif" is used to refer to food that is considered "unclean," and therefore
unfit to eat, according to the Jewish dietary laws. One way in which food 
can become "traif" is if it contains certain things mixed together (e.g.
meat and dairy products), or if it is "contaminated" by contact with 
certain forbidden foods (such as pork).]

Linux is accumulating a groundswell of support that FreeBSD isn't. WHENEVER
I hear of a company developing a product for Linux and ask, "What about
FreeBSD?" they seem to say, "Free-who?" In my experience, FreeBSD doesn't 
enjoy even the recognition that OS/2, dying ember that it is, commands.

That's a rut, folks.
