From my perspective I'd say the availabilty of much more Opensource
development in the Linux arena then in the BSD world.  Not to say that
there isn't any going on in BSD but there certainly appears to be much more
in Linux when looking around the world.

Right.  I would agree with that.  Very confusing for sure.  I think the
trick is to know what you want and then act accordingly.  Ask around what
others use and why.

I use Slackware primarily but lately have been playing around with the
ttylinux, minimal Linux concept.  I really like and enjoy that but it isn't
what I'd call user-friendly.  Slackware is a very good choice methinks.
