"... but it's just not as widespread as Linux..."

Of course "BSD" means more than just a kernel. Nevermind all those OSX and iOS users. Companies are interested in more than just the BSD kernels. Many years ago, I remember someone from Google approached NetBSD asking about their libc.

Most "BSD folks" seem to know a lot about Linux. Yet I dont get the same feeling from "Linux folks". I have never learned anything about BSD from "Linux folks", but I have learned various things about Linux from "BSD folks".

NB I use both. I do like Linux.
