    "BSD
    4 more"

    When was the last time anyone saw that? It's like a creepy zombie movie. /hopes the mods can tell a joke from a troll

      Don't you just love the sweet smell of desperation. :)

    Well, a linux user is used for ages to:

    * Pretend things work when they don't (90's USB, ext2, etc)
    * When busted, explain things were fucked but are really ready now (desktop environment, packages dependencies, robust filesystems, vm managment, etc)
    * Upgrade and break its system every other week (new kernel, new gnome, new X, new nvidia driver, etc, etc)
    * Ready to jump to whatever fad is current (live CD, rebuild everything from source including the base distribution because some asshole said it was better, etc)
    * Live in a undocumented perpetual beta state (which is, btw, now official in lkml)

    Of course, this population is trained to change distro instead of fixing the current ones.
