All Im saying is that more people use linux because its getting better and
they are responsive to their community. Im comparing Freebsd 2.2.8 to 3.3
and citing that there are more problems with 3.3 than 2.2.8 Linux 2.2 was a
vast improvement over 2.0 whilst that clearly isnt the case here.

"less unstable". Is that a technical term? If you are going to make totally
ignorant statements at least try to get the semantics right.
