I remember being at GM Powetrain the Tech Center, and the official

Of course, the productivity losses from trying to figure out how and

Not at all. Of course I've been using FreeBSD for about 3 years, so I know
it's quirks. But the first time I installed it (circa 2.1.x IIRC) it was
fairly self-explanatory except for the partitioning (took me a while to
figure out exactly what a mount point was and why i'd want one ;)
Unlike Linux, FreeBSD is quite consistent and I can generally find anything
i'm looking for on the FreeBSD web site. Not so with linux distribution
sites. While they do provide a lot of information specific to their
distro's, they seem to make you go elsewhere for the vast majority of
information. You end up surfing for half an hour to find the most up to
date HowTo on something, which may or may not be applicable to your distro.

FreeBSD is much more heavily controlled than Linux is. Linux has the
momentum at the moment. Most FreeBSD users are content to just USE the OS,
and not make it their personal mission to shove it in everyones face.

Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD" is an excellent reference. It's

It's easy to do. The FreeBSD mailing lists seem to have much more signal to
noise than Linux lists, and there isn't any of the "If you're too stupid to
figure it out, you shouldn't be using it" attitude.
I also find the kernel tuning mechanism of FreeBSD much more friendly and
simple to use. Yeah, you still should recompile your kernel to tune it, but
it's pretty straight forward.

Well, sysinstall isn't much better, but at least everything is usually only
a few layers down.

After going back to FreeBSD i was amazed at how neat and orderly /etc is. I
hadn't really noticed before, but Red Hat 6.2 and Mandrake 7.2 comparitively
speaking are a nightmare, especially with all the tons of links and run
levels and other BS.

If the GUI tools work, then there is little reason to worry about human
modification. Yeah, some people will want to, but that's a 90/10 problem.
You can inconvenience 10% of the users for 90% of the users benefit.
However, the problem is that the Linux GUI tools seldom work completely and
often require you to go in by hand and fix what the GUI tool screwed up.

There is no tyrant worse than the one who has convinced himself that
his schemes are "for your own good"...whereas the tyrant who seeks to
torture for the sake of cruelty may eventually find satisfaction at
some level of your pain....the tyrant who is trying to help you has
no qualms with taking the torture to new heights...after all, "it's
for your own good."

It doesn't. But since those two things have been claimed by every *ism since the
Enlightenment, it's hardly a distinguishing characteristic of Objectivism.
Rand was an extreme individualist who claimed altruism was immoral (i.e. she was
selfish). She also had very little tolerence for those whose opinions differed to
hers (i.e. she was a bigot).
"Selfish" and "Bigot", look 'em up in the dictionary.
