"'e's not dead, 'e's resting."

It is on my todo list to do a round of updates on it.  Sadly, it has
been for a while; I've been kept too busy lately to do much more than
get through the day.

On the upside, I don't expect it to be a huge amount of work to
update.  By its nature, it's oriented on the broad sweeps and
philosophical differences, and those don't change.  The history is
rather flown by, and there are a few details that call for update, to
be sure.  But by and large, the points I wanted to make with it are
just the same now (near a decade later) as they were at the time;
FreeBSD is still FreeBSD, and Linux is still Linux.
