I have once posted usenet asking why we don't join them all together. I eventually learned that there is more than enough room on the net for everyone. I liked the editorial about how "Linux" is just Linux regardless of what CD it came from. I wonder what ye all say about starting a socializing process by which we all refer to FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSDi, and NetBSD as just "BSD" except where it is needed to differentiate.
