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

	Well since Linux is a kernel and FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and
DragonflyBSD are all complete OSs in order to be correctly called Linux
they's have to switch to using Linux as the kernel. There have been builds
of the FreeBSD userland running on a Linux kernel, they weren't noticably
popular. So I'd say that this assertion has been proven false.
