I have no problem with binary drivers. I am not an ideologist. I like
the concept that Kernel and User Land are of one piece. Everything
centrally coordinated, no wild growth as under Linux. Of course, they
adapt many things from the Linux world, because otherwise many software
just would not run. Basically, I think BSD is much better. In real
operation, however, there are 2 problems: many laptop functions are
still immature, e.g. Suspend / Resume, and the software offering is even
worse than under Linux. For example, there is no Virtualbox or VMware
Player, which is important to me for a few Windows programs that do not
exist for Linux.
