 From the article:

"I didn't want a Macintosh--for one thing, I didn't want to move to a 
new hardware platform. That left me just one other choice: Linux."

That a PC World editor only know of two operating systems for the x86 
platform is shameful. I could understand the average Joe on the street 
thinking that there's only Windows and Linux, but an editor of a major 
computer magazine?

We really need to get the word out that FreeBSD exists. Before we can 
get to the point of promoting its features, we need to promote its 
existance!
