That's certainly a matter of opinion (and probably a hot topic for
debate as well). :)

I switched from Linux to FreeBSD specifically because Linux has

IMHO, of course, and YMMV. :)


P.S. Linux is a fine product.  I'm not slamming it; I just happen to
have an irrational dislike of all that is System V. :)
