I left out the last few words. The Ubuntu group has what
feels to me a BSD-type feel to it. They say up front that
Linux is only the kernel-side to their effort, for one thing.
For another, I believe that much of the Ubuntu people hold
a more mature view of things. The last time I used real
TM SysV UNIX was circa 1993, but the Ubuntu users haven't given
me any snide remarks. --That sort of thing.
I'd very much like to see a Debian/NetBSD port continue--just
because. Debian seems a cut above the other Linux distributions.
Barring that, I'll stick with FreeBSD on my DNS server, and am
very slowly making the transistion to Ubuntu on most internal
servers.
