    This is something I've been pondering for a while. As a group, the *BSD folk seem to be happy to coexist with other systems while the majority of (vocal) Linux supporters are hell-bent on Linux World Domination and if you're not 100% on board the Destroy Microsoft bandwagon, then you are the enemy. The phrase "use the best tool for the job" in some peoples minds has been interpreted as "use the best tool for the job... so long as it's Linux".

    There are zealots everywhere -- hell, I know people who go absolutely rabid if you get coffee from Starbucks instead of Seattles Best -- but sometimes it just seems the Linux users could learn a thing or two about tolerance from their *BSD cousins.
