I wasn't saying that Linux is the enemy in general - merely that
in the academic setting, Linux is the enemy, or to be more acurate,
the "competition".

Hmm. Which compilers are you referring to? And how many people are
actually using commercial compilers under Linux?

I disagree. Our port collection is amazing. It makes getting programs
for FreeBSD very straight-forward and efficient. The problem is that
not all of the ports are always completely up to date - but this has
nothing to do with "cathedral vs. bazaar". It simply has to do with the
free time of the volunteers.
