    *BSD had (useful) IPv6 long before Linux thanks to kame. OpenBSD is also the last of them to get SMP support, even if it's pretty fresh in NetBSD too (a year or so).

    That's like saying your car brand was the first to support running on both gasoline and optionally hydrogen. Good for you, but let me know when there's a hydrogen fueling station in my city, nay, my entire state, and I'll happily switch to your brand. IPv6 is irrelevent right now outside of lab environments and isolated networks (cell phone providers, etc.).

    Looks like someone deliberately waited until the initial flurry of moderation had ended and then slapped me down with the ol' overrated.

    Overrated is the final refuge of the incompetent moderator...
