And the BSD family, notably OpenBSD -- whose development is led in
large part by one of my favorite curmudgeons.  (As I've said elsewhere,
some of the people working on OpenBSD are nit-picking, anal-retentive,
pedantic, intolerant, fanatical, insistent, demanding and relentless:
in other words, the perfect people to be crafting an operating system.)
