Ok, you are right.

Sorry, my english is so bad that I can not say everything I think. I do 
not like to start wars among free OSes, I enjoy fighting the Bill OSes.

For me, making the war against Bill OSes means using Free Software OSes 
(Debian, Gentoo, FreeBSD.......)instead Bill's one.  Everybody is free 
to use the OS he like, so I choose FreeBSD or Linux simply because for 
me they are better. I also try to evangelize my friends here in my city 
to use free software, but at the moment, it has been a difficult task.

By making the war, as I stated above, I mean using FreeSoftware instead 
propietary one.
