But they are only a fragment of a tiny minority (you can tell who they are since they pronounce Linux as "guh-noo-lin-nooks"). I heard an old story about how people decide on which Linux distribution they finally stick with. They bounce from distro to distro until they find one that matches their personality, hardware and/or configuration. This is the one they stick with. If it happens to be FreeBSD, then they'll be a BSDer for life. Unfortunately, some Linuxers get caught up in the whole GNU jihad, and then the choice of a distribution becomes a religious imperative...
