Well, there's always BSD...
Turns out the original blog post was, in fact, written by a BSD troll.

Hrrm, interesting. I remember years ago, a rather funny bbspot.com article, Linux distributions outnumber users.

Why a BSD troll?

I wouldn't say he's really dissing (for non-English speakers, it means
being disrespectful of) Linux there. He makes a point of stating he
supports it.


Shucks, I think any O/S can, at times, make us want to jump up and say, "STOP! Hammer time!" pick up a hammer and have at it. :)


At any rate, before this gets into a BSD vs. Linux thing, let me quote the official FreeBSD position this, from their myths page.

*BSD is better than (insert some other system).
This is user opinion only.


Oh dear, after typing the above, I see I have MC Hammer's "You Can't
Touch This," stuck in my head.



I wrote the article and I am not a BSD user. I love Linux. just as much as anyone else. I just thought we could use some unity.
