"I guess you have never compiled a Linux/BSD distribution from scratch"

You guess, and so perhaps do other things as well, with poor acuity.

The incalculable value of open source software has approximately no bearing on this assertion.

Yes I love linux and bsd too I'm not defacing your religion. I'm actually quite Stallmanesque in making my own life harder by only using ooen source software as much as possible and being super fun a family gatherings talking about it.

You sure nailed that one.
