> Since it seems more "stable" it would surely make an easier target for development? That's not really an accurate statement - you can have very stable Linux distros, and you can have very unstable ones - same goes for installations of the BSDs. (Not to mention that 'stable' is in itself an overloaded term). One may be better for an individual use case, but I don't think it's possible to say that BSD is more stable than Linux (considering that you're not even comparing like quantities there!)
