For that matter, one can then almost write that *BSD is "just as bloated as Linux OS".

Actually these two are somewhat different *ix derivatives as is elaborated upon in both http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Linux_PR/bsd-linux-comparison.html and in the 'Integration' section of http://sites.inka.de/~mips/unix/bsdlinux.html among other places.

BTW, in regards to *BSD and GNU/Linux, it is fascinating that Linus Torvalds mentioned over a dozen year ago, this:
Quoting: "Actually, I have never even checked 386BSD out; when I started on Linux it wast available (although Bill Jolitz series on it in Dr. Dobbs Journal had started and were interesting), and when 386BSD finally came out, Linux was already in a state where it was so usable that I never really thought about switching. If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never had happened."

BTW :-D, are there enough Linux distros yet, and if there are too many now, then would Linucitis be swelling of the Linux organ (like appendix/appendicitis) ?? LOL
