I saw Stallman talk about a decade ago and was thrilled to be picked on, so asked a question about my Linux setup.

"I think you'll find," he interrupts me, like he's done to most of the other people asking questions "that it's actually GNU/Linux" and then fixes me with a look usually reserved for telling an adult that yes, they really have just soiled themselves.

"Actually," I took great joy in responding, "I'm running Mr Torvalds' kernel with a BSD userland, so really, I'm pretty sure I'll find it's not."

We haven't stayed in touch since.

Beautiful. I've been wanting to do that, actually, but I keep having a rough time because the BSDs tend to assume you're using their kernel, libraries, and userspace all together.
