BSD came from the academic environment, that was where I met it the first time and I appreciated the way things were developed and 'sloppyness' was a nogo. So we should keep it up and a serious and honest set of contraru points for all compared OS should be appreciable. Does the VM of FreeBSD still have advantges (measurable) over Linux?
