Hi everyone. I’m really curious to know why do some people prefer Unix to Linux? Why do some prefer FreeBSD, OpenBSD and etc to famous Linux distros? I’m not saying one is better than the other or whatever. I just like to know your point of view.

Edit: thank you everyone for sharing your opinions and knowledge. There are so many responses and I didn’t expect such a great discussion. All of you have enlightened me and made me come out of my comfort zone. I’m now eager to learn more. I hope this post will be useful for everyone who may have the same question in future. Thanks for all your comments. Please don’t stop commenting and sharing your knowledge and opinion. PS: Now I should go and read dozens of comments and search the whole web :D
