Hmm.  I think you mean "FreeBSD Unix" version.

well, nice try for a couple of free T-shirts, but you need to do
a little more research.

	a) FreeBSD isn't Linux. Linux is a unix kernel clone, with utilities
	from the FSF.  FreeBSD is Unix, ported to run on PeeCee hardware.

	b) The two projects are rivals, usually friendly.

	c) FreeBSD, although a corporation (FreeBSD, Inc) for tax purposes,
	is, in fact, a non-profit charity mostly operated by volunteers. 
	How about you send FreeBSD a couple of T-Shirts from your school?

	d) There are some T-Shirts /for sale/, I think. Profits from stuff
	like T-Shirts, alas, are important to keep the project going, :)

More information about FreeBSD can found at www.freebsd.org.
