   Here’s another point: different BSDs do things differently --   
   different as in right down to the kernel level.   
      
   Compare: 300-over Linux distros on the one hand, versus less than half   
   a dozen BSD variants on the other. One offers a breathtaking, even   
   bewildering, level of variety of choice, with minimal interoperability   
   issues -- i.e. minimal fragmentation. The other offers much less   
   variety of choice, at the cost of much more fragmentation.
