Why?  You didn't back up anything you said?  Here, I'll do ten times as
much backup as you:  I have run Linux for over 2 years... no problems.
I ran BSD for a week and had two bad crashes, the second one resulting
in a complete reinstall as the FFS was toast.

No, I don't mean that.  BSD currently has less to offer me.

Anyway, I was picking on you more than BSD.  The "BSD is *real* and
Linux is not" crap is a terrible joke you play on yourself and anyone
else who believes it.  They are both real and work great.  Linux works
better for me.
