    Wait a second, you have been trying to install linux on your computer, unsuccessfully it seems, for six fucking years (RH 5), and you say that linux is "almost as good as BSD"?

    In other words, what the fuck could you possibly know that would make your opinion on linux vs BSD worth a chicken shit if you can't figure out how to install either? Saying that whole kernel must be recompiled to add a driver gives you away as a complete moron who has never used these systems.

    Fuck Off.
