>"On the other hand, no, Linux does not have that stupid notion of having totally separate kernel development for different issues. If you want a secure BSD, you get OpenBSD; if you want a usable BSD, you get FreeBSD; and if you want BSD on other architectures, you get NetBSD. That___s just idiotic, to have different teams worry about different things."

versions of Linux, with their 200 different installers, and 200 
different file hierachies, and their multiple package management systems.

If I remember correctly, there are multiple versions of BSD because the 
teams could not work together.
