Meh not really. I'm running BSD with the very latest software. KDE, Firefox, Chrome, LibreOffice. All rolling unlike most Linux distros. I really don't care how 'big' my OS is.

But yeah grassroots was perhaps not the right term. I meant the status quo, not the origin. I don't know what the right word is then though.
