"After years of living in the Linux shadows, the BSD community
finally appears to be preparing for a move to the head of the
class."
"There are now signs that the community is learning to work
together."
"Thanks to the imminent arrival of MacOS X, the next
generation of Apple's (AAPL ) Macintosh operating system that
incorporates substantial portions of the BSD code base,
self-described "BSD bigots" are contemplating a future in which
more computers users run versions of BSD than rival
Linux."
"It's one of the biggest developments to hit the BSD community
since 4.4 Lite came out," says Jordan Hubbard, referring to the
final, open source version of the University of California-managed
Berkeley Software Distribution that ignited the current open source
BSD scene."
