There are maybe half a dozen BSD variants still undergoing some kind of 
development, versus about 50× that number of Linux distros. Yet it is 
easier to move between Linux distros than it is to move between BSD 
variants.

Linux is able to offer a great deal of variety with minimal fragmentation, 
while the BSDs have more fragmentation and less variety.
