[Linux-bruxelles] GNU/Linux vs BSD le mot de la fin?

[Physicman]

"Q: Other than the fact Linux has a cool name, could someone explain why 
I should use Linux over BSD?

A: No. That's it. The cool name, that is. We worked very hard on 
creating a name that would appeal to the majority of people, and it 
certainly paid off: thousands of people are using Linux just to be able 
to say, "OS/2? Hah. I've got Linux. What a cool name." 386BSD made the 
mistake of putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations into the 
name, and is scaring away a lot of people just because it sounds too 
technical.
