You are right. I've read the article too and was pretty angry after
reading about how nice and powerful Linux is. No word about the
features of *BSD, just a few words about how horrible the installation
is. This was a real unfair and fully Linux-coloured article.
But a few months ago (I think it was in issue 1/96 of UNIX Open,
another German Unix Magazine) I read a real good article about
FreeBSD. This one convinced me to use FreeBSD as my one and only OS. I
still run it and would never ever again touch a Linux
distribution. Maybe you should have a look at this article.
PS: No, I don't hate Linux, I just don't like it.
