I have tried it. I honestly didn't see what all the fuss was about, aside from it being cleaner than most Linux distrobutions. I didn't give it that much time to shine though. My reasoning is this: with hope and study, I will be contributing to one of these kernels. I honestly don't like the idea of some random company taking the code I've worked on, modify it, try to sell it back to me, but not even give me the modifications they made (let alone anyone else).
Aside from that all I ever see comming from the BSD community with regards to Linux is a sense of supremecy.
Tell me this.... the BSD License allows sublicensing. Would it be legal for me to GPL the code, while leaving the copy-right intact? If so, I'm having some devilish ideas of my own >:) (If that upsets you, then it's time to change that license)

So you've just described apt-get, but you have to compile everything. How easy is it to remove packages? I allways hear people tooting the ports tree as being something revelutionary, yet I still haven't heard anything unique about it. Your claim that Debian copied BSD is kind of unjustified. At most you can say they were motivated by it. Did apache copy ncsa? At least with apt, you can simply apt-get update. How easy is it to update the ports tree?
So its "tastefull" to use a BSD kernel in Debian? The kernel was "patched" into their userspace? How often should a system administrator have to update her kernel? If it's some where like once a day then I would understand why CVS is more convenient...
Please get of your holy stool...
Using the binaries from Xfree86 is kinda silly because then you won't be dealing with all the dependency issues. Packages specifically from the distrobution are important if you want to have a coherent setup that will be easily upgraded.
I asked my sister what was up, because she happens to work for the Human Genome Project. I'm just gona post what she said in case some one was wondering what the opinion of a member is. She said:

You raise a good point about the net not being.com,.net, and.org; however, some people who visit the site will still have that idea, and discrimenate against it.
Linus doesn't want to show support for any one Linux vendor or open-source company. He recognizes that by doing so he would endorse the company very strongly. It is clear to me that he wants to be as impartial as he can, while promoting the commericialization of Linux. For example, he says that he installed Redhat at home and Suse at work for a reason (maybe it was vice- versa, I can't recall).
You guys are right. In the past I have normally sided with the poster's interpretations, however I'm beginning to realize that was merely so because of my bias. Considering how many thousands of people visit slashdot, I think it is time for Slashdot to become more objective.
I'm not talking about specefic catagories. I'm talking about the final conclusion. You misinterpret my intentions; I care not about what they think or how misinformed they are. There seems to be a new band wagon on which everyone persecutes people who have opions that could be seen as zealous. The article places Linux last. I have made no statement that we should go and burn the athours. I have made no statement about how silly the article is at many points. Linux was placed last. If you can't see that, then you live in a candy land dream world in which no one ever looses and everyone is special.
It was implied... Read the article. They were tooting Microsoft as the best, Netware as second, then mention SCO, and then they mention Redhat at the very end. And they said RedHat was good enough to do basic simple things that werent important basicaly. hmmm. Sounds like they just dont have the guts to say it directly.
Whats even more funy is that acording to Novell, Microsoft demands disabling all disk caching if you are running active directory. There goes that wonderfull speedup.
When you're surviving because you were spared a job, you dont let some angry kids threaten your opertunity. If your not even provided with the materials to do your job, you use the materials you have. Something tells me Santa didnt have one hundred of varients of glue to chose from like us spoiled americans.
When your a lil squot kiddie who is beginning to recognize the damn hypocritical government neglects everyone around, you stand up against it. Try growing up in a broken world and see what it does to you.
You wouldnt think there was a point to christmas if you saw the world closer to how it is.
"This is a case where everybody was in the wrong." Not much in this world is right. You so easily say "Goodwill towards humanity". Without any action, your shallow.

RMS is the figure head of a very strong and successfull project. Metcalfe isn't. RMS' comes up with ideas that many people accept. Metcalfe doesn't.

He is an honorable person.

Did you have a bad experience with Christianity as a young child? Do you think the vocal minority of Christians in the public eye are obnoxious?
Its not necessary to have had a bad experience with most prominant religions to notice they are fundamentally flawed.
