I'm trying to do a short write-up of my experience moving from W2k to Linux and, almost immediately, on to FreeBSD. One thing I want to highlight is the lack of posturing and B.S. in the user community. I'd appreciate anyone's/everyone's thoughts on why this is. Lack of competing versions/distros? Higher percentage of professional sysadmins in the user base? Better karma? Any/all thoughts appreciated. (Note: Please respond to me personally so the list doesn't get clogged with non-technical commentary.) Thanks, G.
