Many don't get that the Linux "distros" are often just that,
distributions... of the same damn thing... they make some app
bundling and packager choices but that's about it. Except for
the commercial ventures like RedHat which do contribute sizeable
raw development.
Whereas the BSD's all picked something long ago and generally
stick with it to this day, with blending across them...
Open - secure, free
Free - serving, all around utility, hardware, storage
Dragon - clustering
Net - platforms including your toaster

That's the key as always. Someone really needs to
maintain a giant wiki table with this and the bsd's.
