==FreeBSD is Coherent==

One of FreeBSD's biggest strengths in the Open Source operating system arena is that it is a complete, coherent operating system. GNU/Linux is as fragmented as the name; Linux itself is only a [[kernel]], not an operating system. The various distributions are collections of a particular build of kernel along with the GNU utilities and some others conglomerated together, and in [[User:Jimbo|Jimbo]]'s personal opinion, the end result often seems pretty arbitrary and incoherent.

FreeBSD is not just a kernel, it's an entire operating system maintained by a group of people called the [[core committers]]. This means that both the kernel and the core applications are developed in tandem, and a vision is maintained of "the overall package" and how it works together that is simply not possible with GNU/Linux distributions.
