As somebody used to GNU find I keep finding it hateful that find on FreeBSD does this: $ find -type f find: illegal option -- t find: illegal option -- y find: illegal option -- p find: illegal option -- e find: f: No such file or directory But at least that's only a minor irritation and the command-line, rather than most of a hard-disk wiped, so I think you're hate definitely wins!
