'Ooohh.. "FreeBSD is faster over loopback, when compared to Linux over the wire". Film at 11.' -Linus Does anybody know whether it's real? I've rarely heard such ludicrous comparisons... certainly never from any official source or core member. Nor does the quote jive with what I know about Linus himself. In any case, this is the kind of wasted breath that causes tension between the Linux and BSD communities, where there should instead be more healthy exchange -- as there has been. Just about any UNIX-like OS has its place, big or small, IMHO. Is this not the popular opinion? sdj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
