    OB comment: I'm glad to see that with the lack of "hype" on BSD Daemon News is sticking to thier guns and pumping out the online newsletters and the dead-tree mags on a regular basis...

    BSD doesn't need the "hype" to sell itself (unlike the troubled linux variants). *BSD proves it's worth everyday....dont see Yahoo! running linux do ya? :-)

    Comment on them damn "*BSD is dying" posts:

    I know why these posts appear...Because the /. editors have thier heads so far up thier asses with "linux rules". I wouldn't be surprised if it was indeed CommanderPaco himself. Need Examples?

    Stories like "why doesn't the government use an Open Source voting system running on Linux?" (ran a few months back or so) Hell! I can tell you why, it's cause why re-invent the wheel and invest millions of dollars when you can *pay* someone with a commercial product the same amount and yet...not have to invest the time to get the job done. LINUX IS NOT THE ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING. Is that a hard concept to grasp? Everything, I mean EVERYTHING has it's place. MS has it's place, Apple has it's place, and UNIX (note, linux is *NOT* UNIX) has it's place.

    ...Back to my point...I have this theory that the ./ editors hard coded this damn "*BSD is dying" BS into slashcode to popup on every BSD story. Plus thier backers (VALinux) dig bashing anything that isn't thier product.

    I'm begining to wonder why in the *hell* i keep reading the crap that they call news. I know I sure as hell don't click thier banners. Why should I support lame-ass articles by 1/2 wit people, I'd rather watch 20/20 all day....

    yea yea i know, if i dont like it, dont read it. blah!
