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.
