It's funny that the same advocates who acuse the BSD folks of
oligarchical development are the same ones who acuse other distributions
of being too complex, or too windowish, or too lax on security, etc.
When you've learned Redhat, you've learned Redhat, but know nothing
about administering SuSE or Debian. But when you've learned FreeBSD,
then OpenBSD and NetBSD are a piece of cake.
