OK, I'll buy that the post was a bit much - my point was just that
comparisons of flavors of UNIX seem, IMHO to be pointless, and flinging
accusations of FUD are even more pointless. You can make just about any
flavor of UNIX (unless it's under serious development, or seriously flawed)
about as stable and secure as any other. Unlike comparisons of very different
OSes (Windows vs Unix vs MacOS), comparisons of UNIX seem, to me, to come
down to personal preference. (Although, many would argue the same for the
other comparisons as well).
Let's save the FUD accusations for much more serious matters.
