More details at www.gnome.org." The actual press release is online, as well as Gnome news. Having worked/talked with Tim before, this is great news for The Gnome Foundation -- Tim's an incredible guy.
Are they going to fix slashdot? Everytime I log in it logs me back out. I can't even post messages without getting some crazy error.
I'll be your brown eyed girl.
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick nd its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
*BSD is dying
KDE is far superior. I will NEVER use that fucking GNOME trash!! fuck GNOME. GNOME IS GNARLY GNASTY GNIGGER SHIT.
Are all FreeBSD users attracted to inter-species homosexuality? Why else would they choose a logo of unwilling anal penetration?
I think I'll just install Slackware instead.

take me now, hampster boy!
500 developers and they still can't make it not suck ass. they must all be niggers banging on a keyboard or something. oh, by the way, BLOW IT OUT YER ASS
"stupid nigger?" Isn't that kind of like saying 'gay faggot?'
Source forge actually has an article about this: here. It is a pretty good read, and I would recommend that all of you sick Linux humping BASTARDS would read it. It talks about how Microsoft is going finish kicking the living shit out of Linux (because we all know that they are well on their way!) Linux is dead people. The only thing that is left alive is it's shit. And Microsoft is kicking alllll the living shit out of it as we speak! GO WINDOWS! GO IIS! GO PAID SOFTWARE!!!!!!!!!!!! GNU SUCKS!!
Eat shit and die, liberal nigger lover. Niggers are animals without souls and they should be treated as such.
