Once upon a time Georgiana S. Trigg shaped the electrons to say...

Linux is a GUI?  Since when?  The only GUI I've ever seen on Linux is X -
*if* I install it.

I think Linux is popular because of the way it was developed, the history
it has.  It is a product of the community, for the community.  And Linus'
personality certainly has helped the popularity.

And more and more vendors are jumping on the Linux bandwagon - while
BSD/OS, and especially FreeBSD, aren't getting the same kind of vendor 
support.

It's so nice to be insane, nobody asks you to explain.
