Not to mention that fact that Linux is a derviative of UNIX, which is the software that pretty much runs the internet (Im not talking file servers, Im talking backbones here, the real broad stuff).
One thing that I would like to see (now with this Intel chip/Apple deal) is a version of OSX for the clones out there. Thats something I would actually pay for. FreeBSD is great and all, but I don't see it hitting the desktop en masse.
