(hehe, see what I did there?) Some holes in your plan to make BSD a Linux... + BSD is not a distribution in the traditional sense + BSD can run Linux programs already + BSD already has a pretty wide enterprise user share But let's take a step back for a moment... Apple's Mac OS X is based on BSD and has a wider install base than Linux. So in that respect, BSD is already doing great. -- Devin P.S. Just taking time out from work to provide my 2-cents. I recognize that this thread could splinter 1,000 bike-sheds. That being said, I just wanted to mention we're doing fine w.r.t. to the one- liner by the OP.
