"It's terrible," De Raadt says. "Everyone is using it, and they don't
realize how bad it is. And the Linux people will just stick with it and
add to it rather than stepping back and saying, 'This is garbage and we
should fix it.'" 

...

There are three open source flavors of BSD--FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD,
the one De Raadt develops, which is best-known for its security
features. In a sort of hacker equivalent of the Ford-versus-Chevy
rivalry, BSD guys make fun of Linux on message boards and Web sites, the
gist being that BSD guys are a lot like Linux guys, except they have
kissed girls.  

Sour grapes? Maybe. Linux is immensely more popular than all of the open
source BSD versions.
