If the BSD become known as Linux, BSD distributions will be millions just like there are on Linux?

Well, 'millions' would be pushingit, but, yes, it is likely there would
be more spin-offs along the lines of PC-BSD or pfsense if *BSD was as
popular as Linux.

Note though that 'distro' doesn't translate into *BSD terms in quite the
same way you'ld expect.  FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonflyBSD, Darwin
are all *BSDs but they aren't distros in the Linux sense -- they are
complete stand-alone OSes.  Things like PC-BSD and pfsense are arguably
'distros' of FreeBSD.
