Not all of us are that bad :) I've been running Linux for a couple of
years now and I love it, but I also have a lot of respect for BSD,
partly because I cut my Unix teeth on it (BSD/VAX, SunOS, and *gak*
Ultrix). One of these days I'll get a 4GB disk and play with FreeBSD
as well.
I guess the more Unices you've seen, the more you realize that they
all have strengths and weaknesses.
