Okay, don't give me crap like I'm troll or anything stupid for I'm FreeBSD
user.  But, I think there is a double standards in BSD community.  First
of all, MAC OS X is not FreeBSD.  How can it be a FreeBSD if it has
totally different core except that it has a FreeBSD user land commands?
Or, have I heard this wrong?  2nd, I personally don't see the difference
between APPLE and MICROSOFT.  At least Microsoft doesn't pretend to be
friends with Open Sourced Community.  APPLE is bullshit company.  It
builds an OS based on Open Source and they're making it a proprietary.
That's bullshit!  3rd, OS X is a one crappy OS I've ever seen!  Infact,
most APPLE users have gone back to OS 9 because OS X requires them to buy
all the softwares (Office suites...etc) built for OS X since the emulation
is terrible and utterally useless (TOO DAMN SLOW!).

It's also bullshit that FreeBSD community cannot throw away it's pride and
accept the defeat and try to learn from it.  We all heard that in recent
benchmark, both Linux 2.4 and Windows 2000 kick FreeBSD butt in
performance.  FreeBSDers complained so they did the test again with all
the optimizations enabled and FreeBSD still couldn't beat both Windows
2000 and Linux 2.4 (not to mention, Linux 2.4 and Win 2000 didn't even
receive special treat for getting tuned.)  Come one people!  Let's cut the
bull shit and get real.  I'm sick of this idiots just saying this and that
without actually contributing anything to FreeBSD development.  I hope
FreeBSD 5.x does a milestone just like Linux 2.4 and Windows 2000 did.
Also, don't give me the crap like Windows 2000 and Linux are unstable!
I've tried em and Windows 2000 is a totally different beast than any
previous Windows (2000 is stable as a rock!).  So is Linux.  Linux 2.4 is
even stabler!

Why then do I use FreeBSD?  I use FreeBSD not because it's better than
Linux or Windows 2000, not because it has better hardware support than
Linux or Windows, but just because I like the consistent layout of the
file structures.  Redhat seems to move around files on every release.
Also, ports collections seem to be handy when I'm not in mood to compile
manually (not that I can't do it in Linux).  I wish FreeBSD 5.x finally
get support for my new Kensington USB (OPTICAL) mouse on my Laptop! I
don't know about FreeBSD hardware support on desktops, but laptop hardware
support is simply not impressive! I'm not about to go back to wheel based mouse
(got tired of cleaning wheels).

I hope this doesn't offend anyone. (Just got tired of listening to crap!)
