    Although my better judgement told me not to followup to this, my opinions
    beat the shit out of it and ergo this reply was created.

    Basically, you make the mistaken assumption that 99% of the people on
    this list are actually RUNNING a server, which is false.  Most people are
    simply involved with MOO.

    However, even further assuming your comment simply meant that most people
    should run MOO under _Linux_ is rather presumptous.  I have installed ~5
    Linux boxes (3 slackware, 2 debian dist), and I don't plan on doing it
    again, I now use the much cleaner/standardized/direced FreeBSD
    distribution for all of my needs.  Its basically easier for all aspects.
    However, OS wars aside I think you could generalize your terminology a
    little by simply stating 'pc unix', as I could come up with arguments for
    NetBSD as well (such as you want to run it on a mac).
