LOL!! That, I cannot deny. OTOH, if they bother to have a conversation at all, they're civil about it. If I were to generalize the difference between recent converts to Linux vs recent converts to BSD, I would identify it as follows: Linux ... Folks who are running away from Microsoft. BSD ..... Folks who seek specific functionality Just a generalization, of course.

It was a gradual change, but it happened. Paramount in that change has been the GPL license, and the baggage with which it comes. *BSD, OTOH, has been around about as long (or longer) than Microsoft (and the Linux movement, for that matter), and has consistently strived to be a better OS, and has, for the most part, ignored the MS bashing. However, when they do get started, its enough to make the most die hard Linux zealot blush. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
