This is a very good writeup.   The body of it seems to be quite accurate.
But, it is funny to see FreeBSD described as a software program for Linux.
Actually, it would be more accurate to say that Linux contributes many 
software programs for FreeBSD since FreeBSD is able to run many Linux 
things in compatibility mode.  But, as we all know, FreeBSD is an operating 
system unto itself and is in no way dependant on Linux.   

Anyway, I, and probably all FreeBSD users and developers, appreciate
the recognition and well reasoned text, even if the title is a bit skewed.

Makes it worth a bookmark.
