Agreed. If people want to have a "religious" discussion between
themselves, that's cool -- but don't subject everyone on
the list to a tennis match...

I'm using 3 Linux distros and putter around with FreeBSD, NetBSD

Yeah, but AFAIK the (silent) majority of Linux and *BSD users
are relatively friendly to the whole mix. It's all Free UNIX,
