Ohh that's clever but BSD is much better in the server than linux is, i'd never use it as a desktop OS though (all the binary goodness in linux like the nvidia drivers)
Please don't make blanket statements like you just did without facts pointing to and confirming that BSD is better than Linux on the server, when you do you just come across as a fanboi.
And I can do better

As federal agency declares 'new phenomenon' downed WTC 7, activists cry foul
According to a federal agency report released Thursday, a "new phenomenon" known as thermal expansion was directly responsible for the mysterious collapse of World Trade Center 7 on Sept. 11, 2001.
This study, posed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology -- a federal scientific agency which promotes technical industrial standards -- marks the first 'official' government theory on the collapse.
The building's demise occurred some seven hours after the twin towers collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001, and has been the source of numerous conspiracy theories key to the "9/11 Truth" movement, most of which argue that the symmetrical, seven-second collapse was brought about by a controlled demolition.
Dr. Shyam Sunder, director of Institute's building and fire research laboratory, oversaw the government's three-year research efforts. The report aims to disprove the controlled demolition argument.
However, Richard Gage, founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and a member of the American Institute of Architects, doesn't believe a word of the theory.
His group, which has swelled to over 400 architectural and engineering professionals, immediately responded to the Institute's claim in a press conference.
"Tons of [molten metal] was found 21 days after the attack," said Gage in an interview with a Vancouver, Canada television station. "Steel doesn't begin to melt until 2,700 degrees, which is much hotter than what these fires could have caused."
"There are holes in this story that you can drive a truck through," Gage added during the press conference. His group asserts that thermite, a steel cutting agent, was used to bring the building down.
Dr. Sunder disagreed.
"We conducted the study without bias, without interference from anyone," said Dr. Sunder. "We have only one single-minded goal in this effort."
While the Institute said it considered the possibility of a controlled demolition taking place at WTC 7, the notion was dismissed due to the absence of any recordings of an explosion sound.
Thermite, however, does not make an explosion sound. And while this was raised to Dr. Sunder in the media's Q&A session, he dismissed it as impossible.
"FEMA found it," said Gage. "Dr. Steven Jones found it, in the dust that landed in the entire area of lower Manhattan. And he finds it in the chunks of previously molten metal [from the towers]."
Specifically, in Appendix C of its World Trade Center Building Performance Study, FEMA claimed:
Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent intergranular melting, was readily visible in the near-surface microstructure. A liquid eutectic mixture containing primarily iron, oxygen, and sulfur formed during this hot corrosion attack on the steel... The severe corrosion and subsequent erosion of Samples 1 and 2 are a very unusual event. No clear explanation for the source of the sulfur has been identified.
Yet, no study of the mysterious sulfur or melted steel was included in the NIST report.
After New York City officials cut off the water main to the tower Sept. 11, 2001, the building's sprinkler system was unable to function, Dr. Sunder said. This allowed fires across 10 floors to burn uncontrolled for nearly seven hours.
The Institute asserts that due to the lack of water supply, an "extraordinary event" occurred, and for the first time ever, steel expanding due to heat from the flames caused columns to separate from structural concrete. Column 79 was the first to fail, according to the report, which brought about a quick succession of failures in adjoining columns.
OMFG I am not that smart but I get What Linus is saying everybody who bashes him is not? Its easy, he is not saying that NDISWrapper is not GPL but when loaded into the kernel with a windows driver its becomes non gpl to kernel that all! Because when you load a windows driver under the wrapper the kernel become tainted and not fully GPL'ed code, so if the kernel crashes then dont bitch to Linus cause you tainted your kernel with non-gpl code, he just wants to mark NDISWrapper as non-GPL code inside to kernel cause in effect it make the kernel non-gpl

heh I was playing 10 Mpeg/Avi movies and 10 mp3s whist playing Quake at the same time with no skipping on a pentium 166mhz with 32mb of Ram on BeOS in 1999, wow it took Microsoft what 7 years to catch up =)
It takes explanations like this to solve these problems, and you guys think Linux is ready for Joe Sixpack?
No nor do I care what Joe Sixpack finds hard to use Joe Sixpack is the avatar of lazyness and stupidity we sould try to get away from trying to save Joe Sixpacks and evolve to something higher.

Heh this is just plain FUD, nothing else to see here move along.
