Oh, Jesus, here we go again.
Look, folks, regardless of the merits of a side-by-side comparison of
operating systems (I personally think they are a Good Thing), it has
been PROVEN time and again that it is IMPOSSIBLE to do this
impartially over USENET. Some little fact is wrong or presented in
such a way that some acolyte of one OS faith becomes mortally
offended, etc. etc.
About this time, I think there needs to be two new newsgroups:
alt.os.linux.comparison.with.386bsd and
alt.os.386bsd.comparison.with.linux. Then the people who CARE to hear
the senseless dribble that comes of this can go and leave the rest of
us alone.
