Agreed. My personal take is that the BSD movement did not gather as much
steam as Linux because IT WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME. The timing of Linux
just happened to be better, so it garnered more press and more recognition.

to support it -- perhaps via the marketing of books, disks, and/or
technical support.
