howardjp writes "Today, Feb. 7, Tucows announced they would bring back the BSD section. Apparently a number of users sent mail encouraging the Tucows/BSD group and with the help of both Wasabi Systems and BSDi, it will be back."

    Here's a run down of the last month's events for anyone new to the thread.

    Tucows: Hey BSD people, we've created a site especially for people like you who use the BSD variety of Linux, with lots of GPL'd shareware we know you'll like! Do you want .rpms or .deb packages, or self extracting dot-eck-seas?
    BSD community: What the $%&@?!?!! Bl$#%!?!! #^@#!!! GPL ?&%@#! Linux! *snort* *!@$!!! here first! *more expletives*
    Tucows: (Takes out onion for upset-and-crying effect) Well, sod you all then. We're just going to take our site down.
    BSD community: *snort* And don't let the door hit your donkey on the way out! (or words to that affect)
    Tucows: (thinking) Wait a moment. We just took the BSD site down to punish the BSD people who really pissed us off. But they actually didn't care.
    Tucows: Ok, now you've really got us annoyed, we're going to bring the BSD site back on line! Take that, snotty BSD people! BSD community: Oh no, here we go again...
