What's your opinion on the various BSD's vs Linux? BSD
proponents still claim the BSD networking code is
cleaner/faster than the Linux code and that BSD in
general is more salable. In your opinion, is any 
of this still true? 

Linus Torvalds at 2:47pm ET 
No.

What did you expect me to say, seriously?

Actually, I think the major lack in BSD is the lack of
interest and the fact that they haven't really gotten
people worked up about their cause. A lot of them seem
to be fairly old-fashioned ("we cater to the /original/ 
UNIX people") or just to have given up on the market. 
They aren't hungry enough, I think.
