Not enough people at chat@freebsd.org, smp@freebsd.org, gnome@freebsd.org, kde@freebsd.org, threads@freebsd.org? I use FreeBSD at home, RH at work and have tried out a few distros. If need to, maybe MacOS X, Solaris or Windows given the situation. Most of the time the FreeBSD people are the Linux people. And Chris is right, I follow an am aware of developments in linux and kde, even though I like FreeBSD/Gnome. The more you know, the more you can apply. If you don't follow Linux, than you might say look at all the dependency hell they have, but not aware of apt-get (deb,rpm) or portage. If all you know is FreeBSD then you might never know the benefits of xinetd vs rc scripts, ports vs portage, rpm vs deb vs pkg. What happened with SCO? The Linux guys looked back at the AT&T case and tried to see how the BSD guys worked it out, and vice versa now with the BSD guys trying to learn from the SCO fiasco. Keep this list open, heck even a Windows troll might be enlightening. Ie. How can you argue against Windows Terminal Services if you've never used or heard of it? -- "Hire me (available from 1st Nov). OSS solutions and development."
