Hi Branko!

I guess it's like comparing an Alsatian [FreeBSD] to a Spaniel 
[DesktopBSD]: they're very different, but both are still dogs. However 
NetBSD is a cat and Windows is a fish.

Feel free to play with my sophisticated model of operating system 
development, anyone.

Maybe I shouldn't have compared FreeBSD to a dog. Whoops. Sorry all.
