From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They dislike this comment just because of this. This statement is correct.
Linux kernel's code quality is not comparable to any BSD's kernel. GNU userland is not as clean as BSD's userland so Chimera Linux existed.
true, true
I'm so lucky that WINE and virtualbox is so hard on "newbie distros" that I would never use windows application on linux.
When I switch to BSD I always read man pages and find the docs to resolve my problems. Never did that on Linux.
Do you think FreeBSD and OpenBSD already met this requirement :)?
