BSD For Linux Users

This is just an excellent piece on the history, philosophy and resulting subtle design differences between the families of operating systems known as BSD's and those going under a Linux moniker: BSD for Linux Users

BSD is what you get when a bunch of Unix hackers sit down to try to port a Unix system to the PC. Linux is what you get when a bunch of PC hackers sit down and try to write a Unix system for the PC.

BSD is designed. Linux is grown. Perhaps that's the only succinct way to describe it, and possibly the most correct.
