BSD versus Linux question

[ebozzz]

While not making it nessecarily better than Linux as a whole, BSD and its variants have a certain place in the hearts of many. I find it hard to differentiate the differences between the two.

A FreeBSD user that I have been in communication with described the difference with the following quote.....

Unlike linux, every BSD in itself is a complete OS, not just a userland on top of a kernel.

The question is - will BSD survive??? after Linux...

I am pretty sure that FreeBSD will.

The Apple OS is based on a version of BSD

I actually dont get the hate between the two, both have thier flaws and merits and both have a common enemy: Microsoft.

Linux considers MS an enemy and want to dispose it. BSD just want to build a good OS.
