Comment 2.4.0 made me go back to BSD (Score 1) 730
It was the 2.4 kernel that made me look at, and eventually switch to OpenBSD. After reading several articles in the press about why Linus was releasing 2.4.0 (some mentioned being tired of everyone asking when), and subsequently having serious problems with early kernels, I decided to move my data to OpenBSD.
Linux seems to seek desktop user mass, and that goal seems to be more important than code quality and stability. All I really want is a secure and stable OS. Linux 2.2 kernels were pretty much that, but 2.2 is getting old.
So I decided it was time for me to go back to my roots, and install BSD, which was the first UNIX OS I used (on an old pyramid). I used unix since 1991, linux since late 1993. Too bad Linux is going the wrong way (for me) nowadays...
