I thought FreeBSD 1.x was illegal (or at least a bad idea) to use
because of the tainted BSD Lite code.  And also, I'm wondering how much
bloat does 5.x add that can't be removed with a custom kernel.  I know
linux 2.6 has a specific section for removing extra features like the
new I/O schedulers for embedded devices that couldn't really use it
anyways.  Is 1.x/2.x really better to use for old hardware?

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
