That seems biased towards FreeBSD -- they get less noise because they get
less traffic. I suggest, instead, that you seek the newsgroups with the
most information. ;-)

Really, though, I'm amazed at how nasty the *BSD vs. Linux discussions get
at times. The whole thing reminds me of Monty Python's "Life of Brian",
when the two rival Jewish insurgent groups meet in the tunnel and start
fighting, and Brian urges them to stop bashing each other and unite
against their common foe... 

  All: "THE JUDEAN PEOPLE'S FRONT?!"

  Brian: "NO, NO, THE *ROMANS*!"

  All: "Oh, yeah, the Romans..."
