I agree. That's not a very compelling argument at all, IMO. I've read some other stuff, too, though, such as praise for the ports system and FreeBSD's "jails"

I agree. That's not a very compelling argument at all, IMO. I've read some other stuff, too, though, such as praise for the ports system and FreeBSD's "jails" feature. But I imagine it's a little like Linux distros. If you don't already use Linux, it's kind of hard to understand why anyone cares about the minor differences between distros.
