Its my first month on linux and I can do basic things now. How hard is it for me to switch to BSD at this point?

Shit, I didn't sage the thread. It just a leftover name from previous thread.

When will you tech illiterated BSD fags learn that Linux is just a kernel?

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

How easy is full disk encryption on NetBSD or OpenBSD, and is it possible to either use Grub, or encrypt the boot partition on either of those?

When will you autists learn that "Linux" is a colloquialism for operating systems that use Linux as their kernel?
