Hi Dan,
Sure I remember you. Thanks for your opinion. Yes, I know about the
BSD-Linux wars. (I think I could get killed by some people for that
hyphen between the two :) )
No need to start a debate here, I just wanted a small summary of what
the BSD guys love so much.
Personally I am interested in all OS's, proprietary or not.
Let's keep the debates irl.
