Honest question (I know it's 4chan and /prog/ and all, but still, I figured I would try): Why BSD and not Linux? And no, I'd rather not ask the Windows zealots over at /g/.
I've just happened to notice some hate for Linux (or ``GNU/Linux'' if your name is rms) around here, so I assume some flavor of BSD is what a number of said individuals are running. But why? Why is Linux so bad? And I'd like to honestly know why, not just something like ``LOL VIRAL GPL IS VIRAL,'' but from a technical standpoint, is it that bad of a system compared to *BSD? I admit I'm no ENTERPRISE developer, but I've always been able to find programs and tools to suit whatever I want to do on my Linux system, and it seems solid enough.
