Lets put a stop to this whole linux thing. Linux sucks, pure and simple. It's an evil evil evil OS. OpenBSD, well, I won't even go into my issues with Theo and his pet project, I have issues with anyone who is so hard to work with he leaves the NetBSD group, and basically does a find/replace in the NetBSD code to change it to OpenBSD, then installs his patches the NetBSD folks wouldn't do for various reasons. Plus there is the ever going flip flop of OpenBSD is only for intel, then it will support solaris, then not, then again, then not. Come on guys, make up your mind.
FreeBSD just rocks. It's a great development team that actually listens to the users. It doesn't have all the support linux has, but if you stay with brand name recent hardware you're fine.
As for all the linux's, I don't think you'll ever have them all, there are literally 100's of linux distributions, each one as messed up as the others.
And, if you want to know why linux sucks, they have to reinvent everything. You have software under the BSD license that is free, has been tested, tweaked, worked on for 15 years, but, it's not "Free Enough" for the linux folks, so they rewrite the code from scratch (changing a few arguments to piss off everyone else in the world) so that it can be under the GPL, because the BSD opensource license isn't free enough. Not to mention that fact that bash is not sh. /bin/sh should never be bash. Folks writing software that expects /bin/sh to be bash should be shot on sight.
Ok, I'm done for now
