    so ?. never heard of anyone who choosed bsd license becuase its been around for a longer time.

    > BSD has a MUCH more in set base of users and administrators and servers.
    can you explain to me what *bsd has that gnu/linux doesnt ?. and please dont give me that "openBSD is much more secure" crap because thats not true. system is as secure as admin wants it to be. so if you have competent admin your system is going to be secure no matter if you are using gnu/linux , irix or openBSD. and if you have crappy admin your system is going to be insecure no matter if you are using openBSD, gnu/linux or SuperSecureFlavourOfBSD.

    > Soviet Union never used military force against its own people

    so how about all those millions ppl that were sent to gulags in siberia... how about whole chechen population being sent to siberia by stalin in 1940-ies ?

    > I however talk about messing with other countries -- something that USSR did rarely...

    lets see, ussr was about to invade yugoslavia in 1948 after yugoslavian communists refused to join warsaw pact and allow soviet troops on yugoslavian ground.
    it invaded hungary in 1956, chechoslowakia in 1967(?), finland was invaded in the begining of 1900 century, baltic states were occupied by the russians at the end of ww2.
    soviet forces also helped establish n. korea as a state, its known fact that soviet fighters/bombers fought on n. korean side...
    then we have all those communist states in europe who only became communist states because they had bunch of soviet troops in their country and were more or less occupied by russians and forced to become communist countries.

    try to get your facts straight before you start trolling around....

    anyway after reading kernel traffic for more than 3-4 months now i have hard time believing that linus will include reiserFS into 2.4 :( (quote from latest kerneltraffic "There is no need to delay reiserfs integration into 2.4 to accomplish a journaling API in 2.5." - Hans Reiser)
    it seems to me that lots of kernel developers have some kind of animosity towards reiserFS

    you might want to check this article from latest kerneltraffic its about standardizing journalling filesystem.

    i believe that udf support is added to 2.4. i dont believe that any journaling system (xfs/jfs/ext3/reiserfs) will make it into 2.4 but you can alway patch you kernel with reiserFS patch and get (imo) stable and fast journaling system. :)
