Red Hat based on BSD??

If you think Red Hat Linux is based on BSD Unix, at least the part that deals with scalability - the kernel, you must have been living in your own little IT world over the last 10 years.

Linux is Unix-like and most of the GNU stuff has been ported to every conceivable OS, but the kernel is not BSD or SVR4.
