From your post I can't tell you don't really know how to use Linux or BSD.
See it's only these silly amateurs who think BSD is so freaking exciting.
Linux has superior support for USB, Linux actually has journaling filesystems so you don't lose files in a crash where as BSD still fails to have one, RPM hell only existed on distros that used RPM and even then it has been fixed for years with tools like urpmi, up2date and yum.
If you have to reinstall your Linux system every 3 months you obviously don't know how to use linux anyways. Basically all you can do is spread FUD! You say Linux loses files? LIE! Linux has journaling filesystems homegrown as well as imported from advanced enterprise unix systems. Linux has no support for USB? LIE! Linux supports more USB device than FreeBSD can! System is hacked less? Linux actually has hardened systems develeped by the NSA, ever heard of SELinux? Again, more FUD! Your programs will be even more responsive when you run them on the powerful enterprise level hardware that FreeBSD only dreams of supporting!
As usual a silly cluetard has to compare Linux vs. BSD as it was during 1999. It's 2004 asshat!
FreeBSD is an old outdated project long past it's prime.

So Yahoo and hotmail are college kids?

Lets turn that around, only people who have too little experience workign would skip on it.

2004 actually, but never mind, you have your mind set already anyway.

Yeah, some crap which is incidentely believed by for example Juniper and other makers of routers, Yahoo and such.. I'm sure they love wasting their money on such things.
> crap which means nothing and is not even true. BSD is running on fumes of hype right now, once people wake up and realize it sucks it will be all done.
You know what? go stick your head in a pig or something.. (not that it matters really, you don't seem to be able to use it anyway)

You should spend more time on making Linux usable for non-geeks
why, so you can use it?
