And a big chunk of them will say there are problem sets for which linux is a good solution, including myself, the founder of TCBUG, a FreeBSD committer and PC-BSD core team member. It would be interesting to know how many members of TCLUG use anything but linux, and what their opinions on other unixes are. In 13 odd years of open source unix-like varients/clones/whatever I've run in to extremists from the BSD crowd and extremists from the linux crowd. It's hard to really get a feel for demographics, especially from my perspective, but what I've observed about the "typical" linux user compared to a "typical" BSD user is that the linux user is younger, more passionate/leaning towards fanboyism, and highly likely to have only seriously used linux and windows. Of course anytime you make generalizations you are going to get yourself in trouble with individual cases. Yes, there are 50 year old ex BSD users who run nothing but linux anymore and have forgotten more about unix than I'll ever know. - -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5ABC 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFI7207JvkB8SevrssRAn6VAKCb7Yu4dfJC3K4ahSNJZxRANcaXQACcCZlY PUnVMeC3REA+ovZuTXFrM18= =B9bo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
