Well, the post is OT, but I need some vent.

It's nice to see sb. with similar thoughts. I too find the freedom to administer your system the way you see fit to be very important. I was very saddened when I discovered that in some ways FreeBSD also forces specific behaviour and in some others builds barriers to prevent people from doing things the authors considered stupid. I don't view it as Linux way vs. FreeBSD way ( though it may be because I don't know either too well ). Rather, I see it as the MacOS way.
Education is much better than building barriers and it's never true that a developer can predict all the uses of their code. And different uses call for different configurations, artificially limiting it is a time invested to reduce code's value.
