[Christian Gauger-Cosgrove]

Hi!

BSD is a wholly different UNIX-like operating system that is NOT
Linux. It's also significantly more free, and the three major ports
can run on vaguely any hardware you can think of (OpenBSD still runs
on a VAX... and 2.11 BSD (based on the original BSD, whereas OpenBSD,
NetBSD and FreeBSD are derivatives of Net/2) will run on a PDP-11).

In general, it's similar - but not the same as - a Linux. Except,
without the whole crap of the GPL (and also Stallman's and his MASSIVE
EGO).

Cheers,
Christian
