<i>We tend to ignore it</i><p>One thing that FreeBSD <i>doesn&#x27;t</i> have is a well known public face. Every software project (and company) needs one.<p>Linux is Torvalds. Of course there&#x27;s a lot more to a distribution than the kernel, but most people don&#x27;t think that far.<p>OpenBSD is Theo. Love him or hate him.<p>But FreeBSD? A while ago Jordan Hubbard came to mind. But he was never &quot;the&quot; guy, and he left a long time ago. I view it as being run now by a nameless, faceless cabal.<p>Anyway, that&#x27;s just my opinion on one reason why we tend to ignore it.
