     From the article:

    "I didn't want a Macintosh--for one thing, I didn't want to move to a
    new hardware platform. That left me just one other choice: Linux."

    That a PC World editor only know of two operating systems for the x86
    platform is shameful. I could understand the average Joe on the street
    thinking that there's only Windows and Linux, but an editor of a major
    computer magazine?

    We really need to get the word out that FreeBSD exists. Before we can
    get to the point of promoting its features, we need to promote its
    existance!
