Linux tends to pick up most of the 3L1t3 dudez, who don't know Inter-Unix rivalries are one of the big things that's slowed down Unix development and allowed Windows to thrive. If the rivalries didn't exist, Unix would be *MUCH* better than it currently is. I'm not just talking about FreeBSD vs Linux; I'm talking about all of the other major Unix vendors, too. I think Bill has a point: all this rivalry is disturbing. I'm surrounded by Linux users, and yet I still manage to use FreeBSD without having to stoop to emotional arguments and name-calling. Personally, I find all this hand waving, venting of hot air, and attempted kicking of hind parts rather boring. I've got better and often more enjoyable things to do. For those of you who enjoy all this name-calling and dirt-flinging, I've got one thing to say: grow up and get a life. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
