I don't know what kind of crack that guy is smoking, but there is nothing at all conservative about Linux or GNU in general. Even if we forget about all the communist ideology behind the GPL, they'll still take a patch from just about anyone unless it total sucks. The only reason that it looks like FreeBSD is moving so fast, as opposed to say, RedHat, is because FreeBSD is controlled by one group, as opposed to scavenging everything rom thousands of different people. Linux its self is just an operating system kernel and can do nothing useful on it's own. Plus, do you think it's coincidence that Richard Stallmans name sounds so much like Joseph Stalin? -- William D.
