It doesn't further BSD any when every comment about it has to bash Though you can have users and groups, you typically have 1 user logged into 1 machine at a time. In UNIX, you can have hundreds logged into the same machine, running several tasks, interactivly with the OS. It's the difference between "I have multiple user accounts" and "I am helping multiple users". In fact, with things like VNC, you can be logged into your FreeBSD, showing a fully-functional desktop, without being on that same machine. "It doesn't further BSD any when every comment about it has to bash MS." is simply excessive. In fact, I bet if you check the freebsd-stable archive, you would see that most comments or discussions about BSD don't even include, MS, WinTendo, MicroSoft, WinTel, Winblows, Losedoze, Windoze, DasFuhrerSoft, u$oft, or M$ in any of their content.
