You're certainly a troll, but I'll bite anyways. Each new release of KDE is FASTER and more polished; that's EVIDENT to anyone that has used KDE. It's curious you mention artwork, since KDE is particularly SO GOOD at it.
That hype you mention is non-sense. That has nothing to do with open source.
The only difference between someone using a BSD-licensed stack and writing their own stack is that they can use the BSD-licensed code's developers to do the work for them
...and they have built their software on good quality code. Thanks for explaining the benefits of BSDL.
GNU/Linux distributions vs. BSD operating systems

A distribution is a collection of pieces of software, mixed together, to form an operating system. Each piece of software is maintained separately.
That's what GNU/Linux distros are: they all start with practically the same kernel (Linux) in the bowl, put some GNU and BSD utilities, add water, mix together and serve.
BSDs on the contrary, are entire operating systems where each component is developed ad-hoc for the OS. They doesn't share a kernel and add some random utilities. Each of them maintain a PUBLIC source tree of the whole operating system. Everything is in the same place developed from a single tree.
Whatever their differences, RMS and Theo are both idealistic. They are primarily motivated by their desire for Freedom, not because they want to produce the best system ever (although that may be true as well).
I agree on everything else but that paragraph. BSD (and so TdR) is all about making ALL software BETTER. That is the importance of free sofware in the BSD cosmovision.
Do I need to live in Greece to know about Greeks?
But guess what... Mayas lived in México, mainly in Yucatán, Quintana Roo, Campeche and Chiapas, and Central América too. And I happen to live in Chiapas.
THIS is the Fifth Age. A Sixth one (the Sixth version?;) would/will begin on December 21st, 2012. It is interpreted as the opportunity/certainty of a spiritual ascension for Earth's humanity, not its doom.
Their Long Count calendar ends on December 21st, 2012. According to them, that's the end of the Fifth Age (the one we are living). But it's the beginning of the Sixth one too, with a renewed and clean Earth.
Seriously, you're free to develop open source software with Qt on MacOS X and UNIX/UNIX-like OSes. So, no, you don't need a special license nor a copy of MSVC++ to use Qt
If you want to develop proprietary software or develop software for Windows you have to buy a commercial license of course. And that is not more evil than you wanting to write proprietary software/for Windows.

This can be useful for you.
You always has OpenBSD that comes with pf (packet filter), CARP (redundancy) and pfsync (firewall synchronizing)
You can find an example here
OpenBSD now uses pdksh as the default shell for all accounts (yes, including root)

I wonder why you left OpenBSD for Gentoo
I mean, no, linux isn't perfect, but that's not news.
And it doesn't even try to be perfect, said by Linus himself. That reminds me why I prefer BSD: quality.

Is downloading the installation file sets from an FTP mirror "Do Everything From Scratch"??

Take a look at the CVS tree if you are curious.
Thanks to the freedom of the license, all of them share code which redounds on benefit of the users.
It is available on many platforms including BSD, Linux and Windows

Its logo says it all, it's a ñu.
For those that doesn't know how to pronounce 'ñ', it's like 'gn' in cognac or Avignon.

Let me guess, the end of the Maya calendar? No, the Maya calendar does not say the world will end on December 21st 2012.
That's true for W only. K and Y are 'native' Spanish letters (kilo, yeso).

There's indeed an effort to castellanizar everything when possible.
The KDE's Spanish Translation Team have done a very good job, take a look at their glossary: http://kurly.org/kde/glosario
