This is groundless mudslinging. You are making claims which you refuse to document; the only way I can interpret that is that you cannot document them, because they are untrue. If you are unable to provide us with constructive criticism - or even a detailed list of packages or features which do not work - then I'm not sure anybody here will be sorry to see you switch to Linux. Now unless you have some real points to make, let us get back to making FreeBSD even better than it already is.
