You can find it at http://www.lemis.com/bsdpaper.html. I'd like feedback on the following aspects: 1. Have I forgotten something? 2. Is it accurate? 3. Is it fair? I'm trying as much as possible to show the BSD camps as a united front. I'm also not trying to knock Linux: any reasons to move to BSD must be well-founded, and quite honestly I haven't found too many. But I hope that, when I'm finished, I'll have a document which will be useful to the BSD community as a whole.
