: The strength of BSD over Linux for most users is /not/ the kernel.
: Most Linux users are quite happy with their ugly mess of a kernel,
: and would find our kernel far inferior (what?  config(1)?  what's that?).

I hate the Linux config system, but their X gui thing is kinda cool.
I wish that I could have released OI on FreeBSD, since I had a crude
config tool there that made config(1)able files.  The tool is, alas,
long since gone due to job changes.

: Our strength is the consistency of our kernel and binaries working
: together in harmony,  forming a unified front that will crush the
: geneticly impure Linux systems.  All we need is living room!

That goes without saying.  The person that I talked to about this was
interested in testing out FreeBSD in a low impact way as a transient
step to the greater goal of replacing the Linux machine with a FreeBDS
one.

I'm going to have to try this when I get my new SuSE Linux CDroms in a
few days.  Evidentally, they have a complete ELF system on them. :-)
