I don't think that *is* the point. It's not "what is the technical difference", but "what is the difference from the user's perspective". The average user doesn't give a damn about technical differences, they want to know what it'll do for them. IMHO, that means stressing the very different relationship that a FreeBSD user has with the OS developers compared with that between a BSD/OS user and BSDi. mike
