There have been many articles as of late about the so called "source" distributions of Linux. Articles about "rpm hell" and how to get out of it. While I have been using Red Rat since the first release (and do have some things for and against it) there is no distribution that will please all of the people all of the time. Then again, that is what makes an OS like Linux nice, in my opinion. Choices. Today, Gentoo Linux is my choice.

Right, Gentoo is probably not the best choice for servers anyway (way too much bleeding edge atm), so there is no reason for BSD users to whine. Not that this would stop them.
Hopefully they will be mainstream one day too so they can loose those "leet kids" to the next poor underdog OS (but it has to be easy to use so they can understand it but still feel leet).
Someone once called FreeBSD the "Linux for grown ups". I begin to question that statement...
It's seems that now that Linux isn't "leet" anymore but mainstream, those dumbheads make FreeBSD their pet OS. Poor FreeBSD.

Of course I'm aware that probably 95% of all FreeBSD users aren't like that, it's just the minority that shouts out the loudest.
