BSD for Linux users

Caught a link to an interesting article over at the BSDForums.

It's called BSD for Linux users and it's by is Matt Fuller.

The article covers an array of topics including; The history of BSD, BSD core/base, ports tree, differences in release procedures for BSD and Linux, upgrading differences, philosophical differences, and clears up common myths. I'll admit it is a bit bias but Mr. Fuller tries hard to keep it balanced. Still, it's a very good read not just for all the Linux users out there but anyone interested in BSD.

I know I'm always talking about BSD and some people probably get sick of it but tough cookies. You hear about Linux day in and day out in the media. BSD barely ever gets mentioned and if it does it's always a short blurb like "oh yea there's BSD too..." A little advocacy never hurt anyone so that's what I'm doing.

So grab the link and when you have some free time check it out.
