Indeed i think having the correct priorities is essential when choosing between different options, and i am sincerely convinced that my choices are shared by a lot more people than yours. For example, having "less bloat" in the system doesn't even appear in the radar of most people. I value much more that hardware is supported, that installation and upgrade are easy, troubleless. Like everyone else i am irritated by some developments in the Ubuntu experience, for example the parallel booting stuff, which doesn't work well (but that people would like to imitate in FreeBSD), but all those problems remain minor. A few days ago i went to a store to buy a new laptop, i went with two CDROMs, an Ubuntu one and a FreeBSD one. Guess which of the two supported the network controllers in the laptops i tried? -- Michel TALON
