Some of us have (and others will be) just discovered (to our joy) how many different flavors of free/cheap *NIX's there are out ther. I recognize that this is a religous issue and has been beat to death for a long time. HOWEVER, someone needs to take time to put together a well reasoned, logical comparison of these, and pointers to methods that they can be obtained. Then you could simply point us (and all futeure such) to this FAQ. I posted a question to this same effect here last weekend and so far have received only a "linux fact sheet". I appreciate this, but I would also like to know about the BSD flavors. Also I would like to see a calm logical comparison of these.
