Congrats on making Lxer's front page... too bad you have a MASSIVE error in the first 2 sentences. FreeBSD isn't Linux based. Infact saying FreeBSD is a "independent linux distribution" is basically saying Mac OS X is a "independent Linux distribution" because OS X uses FreeBSD as most of its core. To be a linux distribution they have to use Linux as the kernel, and FreeBSD has its own kernel.
