[NTLUG:Discuss] Better than linux?

[Kyle_Davenport@compusa.com]

My response to just about every paragraph was a "yes, but...", and I certainly
disagree with the overall conclusion .  There's a very good reason why linux is
flying past all other OS's.  Every OS is like a balance between extended
functionality and extended debugging.  The advantage of linux - not shared by
any other OS - is that new code is more rapidly fixed because it's open to the
whole community of users.  Not even microsoft could fund as much development and
peer review as are available in the linux community.  I wish I could say "we
should get along and work together" but without opening their code, what is the
point?

Are the statements this guy makes about Linux vs. the *BSD's true?

Are the BSD's more secure than Linux?  I've always thought it was the
opposite.
