[lugm.org] Open source (was: A Little Word on Linux - Article)

[Irshaad Abdool]

Hi guys;
Following the article on Linux, and the conversations we had on this same mailing list; we brewed a post about BSD. 
Here is the link to that post;

Your comments, views and suggestions are most welcomed.
Have a great evening.
