As a FreeBSD developer who spends his (limited) time almost exclusively on userland issues, I must politely disagree: the various BSD projects innovate quite a bit in the userland. Witness NetBSD's work on RCng or OpenBSD's sponsorship of OpenSSH for two very prominent examples. I've always appreciated that FreeBSD is a fully integrated userland and kernel together. In my mind, this is a big advantage of FreeBSD over Linux. Tim
