Just a stupid comment, but ... Linux is one kernel, multiple distributions ... BSD is, what, 4 kernels now?

Yes, because we all want Scott Long defending binary blobs in the kernel (*cough* adaptec *cough*). Pigs will fly long before OpenBSD imports a NDIS wrapper into the tree. A more common BSD? for what? what I want to run runs on OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD. when FreeBSD or NetBSD does something I care about, I'll care about them then and only then. Sorry, FreeBSD seems to want Linux's fame and fortune and is gladly giving away its history of a stable, clean codebase to get it. The winning logo was honestly the last straw for me, though, so maybe that says something about me... Anyway, all this jibber jabber is off topic and I already feel stupid for replying to it.
