BSD For Linux Users

Posted by michael on from the bridging-the-digital-divide dept.

noackjr writes "Matt Fuller posted among his rants a great introduction and explanation of BSD For Linux Users: 'It's been my impression that the BSD communit{y,ies}, in general, understand Linux far better than the Linux communit{y,ies} understand BSD. I have a few theories on why that is, but that's not really relevant. I think a lot of Linux people get turned off BSD because they don't really understand how and why it's put together. Thus, this rant; as a BSD person, I want to try to explain how BSD works in a way that Linux people can absorb.'"

    There's a (too true) saying:

    BSD is for those that love Unix. Linux is for those that hate Windows.

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

    Apparently, since the article is currently returning a 403 Forbidden, he thinks Linux users can't handle what he has to say.

    I want to try to explain how BSD works in a way that Linux people can absorb.

    Just sprinkle your explanation with random anti-Microsoft rants and talk of your imminent death, and you'll do just fine.
