I think you read to much into it as it wasn't a vs. thing. I could
have easily suggested gentoo or funtoo over ubuntu. In fact the
suggestion for BSD in general is to explore diversity and see the
contrast. Maybe in the same regard as suggesting Scheme, Smalltalk or
( awk and posix ) to the the OP to better see how Ruby's syntax
evolved from other languages.

The idea is to recommend "software"/"thing" for use evaluation to find
the best fit for their personal taste and/or level of expertise. In no
way to "tell" them what to do. reread both your statement and mine
tell me which one comes off more or less pithy.

I have been working with BSD since the 90's and my recommendation
didn't come with any intentions to create a vs debate nor will it
ever. In the world of open source diversity and the freedom to choose
(with experience to know what to choose) is the sign of a master
craftsmen who, does not need to be told what to do; while
understanding the true cost of freedom with the sheer power at their
fingertips while flowing between both ruby and the shell.

Non the less good luck OP. Happy hacking and enjoy your time grokking
a great and unique language created by a programmer who truly thinks
differently and "gets" the joy of programming.
