There are a lot of options in the Free UNIX market at the moment. Everyone's favorite buzzword is Linux, and Sun is in the process of releasing Solaris under a Free Software license. One family, however, receives less attention than it is due. Berkley Software Distribution (BSD) has grown into almost a complete replacement for UNIX, with numerous enhancements. David Chisnall explains why the BSD family has found its way into a large number of systems and what these systems can do for you.

Except that it's just not true anymore with several FreeBSD desktop distributions more or less incompatible with FreeBSD.
Look at the amount of *BSDs and remember that Linux distributions are just as divided as the *BSDs.
The situation known from GNU/Linux is also true for *BSDs, though to a lesser extent (at the moment).
This will become an ever increasing problem in the future for the *BSDs, as it has always been on all other platforms ever known to mankind.
