    Since when is the truth flamebait?

    The only 'feature' the BSDs have over Linux is the mascot. It's eveywhere: "BSD is better because the Devil is cooler, and this mediocre chick looks hot in this devil suit, and penguins suck!"

    FACT: *BSD users are beleagured.
    FACT: *BSD is DYING.
    FACT: Dorky penguin and all, BSD is getting owned by Lunix!

    For the benefit of us more strait-laced types, could you explain what the kickstand and horse have to do with sex, and whether they are used with the kind you give away or the kind you charge for?
