Possibly true but I run both and most people on this list seem to
run alot of different stuff as well as GNU/Linux. The differences
between GNU/Linux and *BSD aren't that big either seen as BSD is
basically Unix and GNU/Linux is a clone of Unix. Also network
setup for all os's is basically identical. I think that your
attitude towards this person is unnecessary and doesn't make the
ILUG look like a friendly place. Where is your sense of community
? We are all on the same side here ( open source/free/libre ).
Nobody forced you to read the email and it's not like he was
bonbarding the list with strictly FreeBSD questions.
