personally I prefer and use boa.

I don't want to become the next alan cox
Yes I can take a freebsd cd,
run a awk script through it and replace 
Free with GNU and have my own GNUBSD 
talk about making changes. :)

But the thing is I don't want that 
what any guy wants is recognition in the group s/he 
is in and even if I do my level best with BSDLite
I won't get a place in the 20 some ppl in the kernel team
neither will my code.

So why not run and study mach and The HURD and try to code.
:) is it a bad reason.

But the reason why BSD is kinda (ok) is cuz of the tightness 
of code but then, i would rather run openbsd.
