If anyone here is a clueless idiot then it's you. You're acting like a 5 
year old child who just found a hair in his soup and is going to murder 
his mother for it. Get a life.

mis·cel·la·ne·ous
adj.

    1. Made up of a variety of parts or ingredients.
    2. Having a variety of characteristics, abilities, or appearances.
    3. Concerned with diverse subjects or aspects.

I have saved you the effort of looking up the meaning of the word 
"miscellaneous". Perhaps this will help you understand.

In my extremely humble opinion this list is losing much of its appeal 
because a certain bunch of pigheaded egotripping elitists keep nagging 
on it. What's the matter with you lot? Are you afraid that *GASPS* some 
clueless windows user will actually start using OpenBSD? HEAVEN PRESERVE US.

If you had done as you suggested -- RTFM -- you would've looked up the 
meaning of the word "miscelleneous" and you wouldn't have made this post.
