Its even more sickening then the chart. For example, the BSD description hints that the systems were long ago discarded by corperations because of their lack of power, that they are only good as dedicated systems such as routers, that they are INCOMPATABLE with much of Unix, that the community has a bad attitude towards Linux's success, and that Linux has an advantage because it is a a more compatable system that runs more server level hardware and has outstanding TCP/IP support. If you even get the chance to read the other descriptions, they make out Linux to be the only good OS out of the bunch as every other system has problems. I find that all a little disturbing...
