From my perspective I'd say the availabilty of much more Opensource development 
in the Linux arena then in the BSD world.  Not to say that there isn't any 
going on in BSD but there certainly appears to be much more in Linux when 
looking around the world.

Right.  I would agree with that.  Very confusing for sure.  I think the trick 
is to know what you want and then act accordingly.  Ask around what others use 
and why.

I use Slackware primarily but lately have been playing around with the 
ttylinux, minimal Linux concept.  I really like and enjoy that but it isn't 
what I'd call user-friendly.  Slackware is a very good choice methinks.
