Well to be completly fair the listing should be like:

FreeBSD
FreeBSD Snapshot
Installing and Running FreeBSD
linux

linux should be in a tiny font size -- the smaller the better 8)

Is just that when Linux is mentioned first it may give the impression
that Walnut Creek is running Linux and I can easily see "wild crazed
linux fanatics" claiming that walnut creek main ftp and web server
is running linux.
