Using the word advocacy frightens me. It conjures an image of people proselytising BSD, people notice, they decide to try it, and the same thing happens to BSD that happened to Linux.
But then, I always think of the worst scenarios first. That is the danger of being a cynic.
^ I hear that. It's kinda like when Californians move here to Oregon, because California is mostly ruined, and then they proceed to try to implement the things here that ruined California! We need to reinstitute the Oregon Border Patrol.

Yeah, the term advocacy *could* be used as a rallying cry for zealots, but, I took it to mean "let us celebrate what we enjoy and appreciate about the BSDs." Your point is very apt, Draco! There are zealots in all camps.
Distribution: Mainly Devuan, antiX, & Void, with Tiny Core, Fatdog, & BSD thrown in.

Rep:
OpenBSD had been my ambition since I first tried it a long time ago, before I had broadband, & now with there being pendrive install images, it has become a reality for me.
Previously I had used FreeBSD (& GhostBSD), (also tried using PCBSD, but somehow it just didn't suit me), & a few looks at NetBSD.
(P.S. Thanks for the nixers.net link in your blog.)
