Or don't waste time on Linux, and just stick with BSD where it all
started.

Why let all the Linuxisms and GNUisms slow you down. Stick with BSD.

If you are using nginx on Linux, then you are...

Ok, enough. You should have gotten the point by now.

I'm no fan of Windows, and I don't give a hoot if nginx is ever
available on Windows. But it's also way out of line to tell Igor and
anyone else how to spend their time. I'm just glad nginx was written,
and new features added, and supported here by Igor and others, all
available under a great license.
