I really like the idea of a Unix group as opposed to a Linux group, because from my perspective Linux is just a subset of Unix. But I generally find that Linux people are open-minded enough to learn "Unix" knowledge without worrying about the different name.
Partly right. There's a 'Linux mafia' uninterested in integrity, which does disservice to Unix-like education, it would seem.
Absolutely *anything* you learn about a Linux system is knowledge gained about a Unix system.
"Comparing GNU/Linux and FreeBSD: The real winner is the community"
Yes. But there is more than one community. To be honest, you are the person who is acting to disrupt the community *here* on this list. You put in a huge amount of valuable work with the meetings you hold in Sydenham, but your constant running battles over *terminology* seriously detract from the work you do elsewhere. Please consider the consequences of your posts. More and more people will be turned off from your practical work because of the distractions your words present. -jim
