I was a little unclear. My main point is that many of the things that made FreeBSD such a strong leader years ago are no longer weak points in Linux. I agree with you though otherwise. From a cleanliness, usability, and aesthetics point of view, the state of Linux is pretty sad, especially when compared to FreeBSD. Linux could also learn a little bit about documentation from FreeBSD's excellent handbook. EDIT: Let me also say that I'd really like to see the OpenSolaris devs jump to the FreeBSD team and help drive FreeBSD further.
