Is Linux For Losers? (Forbes)

Despite the real competition between Linux and the BSD family, there have rarely been outright hostilities between the two camps. It would be a shame if that were to change now.

Without reading the rest of the comments on this article, I just wanted to respond to this remark. Theo De Raadt has always been hostile. All you need to do is look at the email thread that he posts (posted?) on openbsd.org on how OpenBSD came to be born from NetBSD. The posting was apparent attempt to exhonerate himself. My reading of the entire thread is that it does just the opposite.

Theo needs to take a pill. OpenBSD and OpenSSH are great accomplishments, but nothing justifies is arrogance.
