I have never understood these "OS wars" ("mine is better than yours", "you don't use my OS? So you are a looser"), mostly because it seems to me a kind of "digital extremism", and extremists are, by their nature, obtuse.
Personally, I like - no, the correct term is "I love" - FreeBSD, and nothing else matters (Metallica docet).
I don't care if Linux is faster, if Windows has more games or if Mac OS X is graphically superior - I like FreeBSD and that's all.
Just like I love my girlfriend, I don't care if another girl is more beautiful than mine - and obviously I don't insult the one that is less beautiful than mine.
I usually follow the golden rule "don't feed the troll" and I never reply to this kind of childish posts (though just writing this post means giving them the attention they are looking for), but if I had to reply to them I would simply write:

Ah, the old RedHat 5.x (or thereabout) installer :e Thanks for the reminder.sossego said:Y'all fellers are jess jehluss of our new fangled sis tum.
KNOStic said:I'm personally a throwback to the days of Minix on an Olivetti 8088 box. Almost got it working too! I was so excited when Walnut Creek offered a CD of "Slackware 2.0.8" which I merrily installed on a 386 box since I was a Novell admin and back in the days of 3.x, Novell had no way of doing TCP/IP and the agency I worked for absolutely had to get on arpanet. So I tried early Linux. This of course back in the days when Linus would personally reply to questions in email if you convinced him that you were not a PEBKAC.
If I had a nickel for every time a Linux drive blew up in my face, never to return, I could personally fund the BSD Foundation. As Linux went to Gary Kildall's Digital Research and emerged as "Caldera Desktop Linux" which was actually pretty good. Alas, like all other Linuces, that too often blew up and ate itself. And over the years, my experiences with Linux didn't improve all that much. Red Hat was OK for a while as well, but I eventually had my fill of the misadventures and ease of shooting one's self in the foot and moved everything I did over to FreeBSD 6. Never looked back.
And as I read with glee the misadventures of Ubuntu, and Gnome 3 and all the rest, I kiss my little daemon on the lips every day in gratitude for the sanity of FreeBSD. Even despite the continuing adventures with Broadcom crap and Adobe continuing to give us the "you're number one" finger. I sure do understand why they opened the sea cock on the S S Linux.
Seriously though ... it's just as well that the tards don't like us much ... better for ALL of us!
Cheers
I always find it interesting that, in the OS wars, when someone talks about why Windows is the best OS and why they use it, games is the best answer they can give. I always tell them they should just get a XBox.TiberiusDuval said:Windows is mainly for gaming, I don't have much installed there to keep system maximumly fast and usefull.
+1!TiberiusDuval said:Os' hating is somewhat most retarded position you can have. I'd like to know what those trolls would comment to someone like me. I have and use frequently Windows7, Linux (Mint KDE), PC-BSD. Everyone of those OS'es have their own uses.

TiberiusDuval said:Linux I use mainly for some multimedia viewing, as my perception is that it handles it somewhat better than PC-BSD, at least some of my movies play smoother there. And PC-BSD is for everyday use.

My son is a big-time gamer and tells me that all the time but the phrase points out that there are a lot of people who, if it weren't for games, might not have a computer at all.throAU said:Unfortunately, there are games that are no good on consoles.
