That they're free as in beer, not freedom.

What do you mean?

EDIT: If I recall correctly, the BSDs are both! NetBSD and OpenBSD especially, given that the only things not 'libre' are necessary firmware blobs.

GPL license vs BSD license.

And how is the BSD license not free as in freedom? Just because it is more permissive than GPL doesn't make it not free.

EDIT: This is a good read about the the BSD and GPL licenses, and their different focuses on freedom.

ZFS and jails are life and using FreeBSD gives me a stratospheric sort of elitism that alludes those Linux simpletons for the most part.

Yep. Pretty much, man. I can't help but feel just a tad bit superior.

How is ZFS on bsd vs linux?

FreeBSD's ZFS support is second only to Solaris, IIRC. Linux lags behind a bit, it seems.
