Comparing Linux and BSD, Diplomatically
Joe Barr writes "Talk about a red-button issue. How do you compare Linux and the BSDs and keep the debate from turning into a friendly-fire flame-fest nightmare between bigots on both sides of the line? Linus Torvalds once handled a similar situation by wearing a BSD beanie at USENIX while delivering a Linux talk. Now he tries it again in this interview on NewsForge ."
Ok, that's all. Nothing more to see here.
Wow! Nearly two hours to get a "Troll" mod.
That must be some kind of record. Carping about moderation usually gets a post slapped pretty quickly.

He was expressing an opinion. I agreed with him.
You just misused the word best, that is all. I keep telling my son: "This is not bad, it's just that you don't like it". No kernel is the "best". By any means. But you might have a preference for a specific kernel.
Just saying it's the best just denotes a big immaturity because it is a universal concept which cannot be applied to a kernel by nature, unless you explicitely specify a set of objective and well defined rules. Then one kernel might be the best for this set of rules.

That is your opinion.
There are others.
