Im proud to say that in its 6 years+ history HUMBUG has had very very few
OS wars on the lists and those few were very short lived.  Most people
realise that there is room for all of us.

Someone once pointed out that having multiple free unixen was a good
thing as they tended to try to out do each other in features & performance
(friendly competition) which benefitted everyone in the end.  In addition
they have borrowed features & concepts over the years - again, everyone is
a winner.

We Baha'i have a saying: "Unity in diversity".  It is meant to apply to
people but it applies equally well to operating systems imho.
Cheers,
	-Rob
