American Megatrends's NAS based on custom FreeBSD
Asmodai writes "American Megatrends unveiled its StorTrends NAS software with NDMP support. This piece of software, which plugs into the StorTrends and ServTrends storage solutions, is a custom developed FreeBSD.
Looks interesting for those who are interested in NAS and SAN and the subsequent managing and monitoring." It's interesting that this press release (because that's what it is) mentions FreeBSD by name.
hello
.. Hmmm..... F1rst P0st hell yeah !
Green Card Lottery 1994 May Be The Last One!
THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED.
The Green Card Lottery is a completely legal program
giving away a certain annual allotment of Green Cards
to persons born in certain countries. The lottery
program was scheduled to continue on a permanent
basis. However, recently, Senator Alan J Simpson
introduced a bill into the U. S. Congress which could
end any future lotteries. THE 1994 LOTTERY IS
SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE SOON, BUT IT MAY BE THE VERY
LAST ONE.
PERSONS BORN IN MOST COUNTRIES QUALIFY, MANY FOR
FIRST TIME.
The only countries NOT qualifying are: Mexico; India;
P.R. China; Taiwan, Philippines, North Korea, Canada,
United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland), Jamaica,
Domican Republic, El Salvador and Vietnam.
Lottery registration will take place soon. 55,000
Green Cards will be given to those who register
correctly. NO JOB IS REQUIRED.
THERE IS A STRICT JUNE DEADLINE. THE TIME TO START IS
NOW!!

It's about time.
i do think so... i own all of you
Yes you are. Now shut the fuck up, homo!
Yet nother crippling bombshell hit th beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of ll 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 yet 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 ll practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
*BS is dying
can I dream the impossible dream? Am I the winner of the first post?
And I am a flaming homosexual! Blowjobs for a quarter!

Well, why not? Hell of a technology, that FreeBSD. Why take over the world when you can make it Pareto optimal?
Please try again later
Who's Nik? Where's AileeCat??
Where's the beef?
I'm gonna unveil my penis now.
What is so selfish about sharing? The BSD license is like building a house then giving it away to the rich guy nextstore.
And I'll kick your ass for free
Je t'aime Stéphanie
you didn't.
Asshole AC!
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Fuck you.
Probably because its very stable, which is among the most important things in NAS/SAN software
The record is clear on one thing: no operating system has ever come back from the grave. Efforts to resuscitate *BSD are one step away from spiritualists wishing to communicate with the dead. As the situation grows more desperate for the adherents of this doomed OS, the sorrow takes hold. An unremitting gloom hangs like a death shround over a once hopeful *BSD community. The hope is gone; a mournful nostalgia has settled in. Now is the end time for *BSD.
Let's look at da damn numbers.
OpenBSD leada' Deo say dat dere are 7000 users uh OpenBSD. How many users uh NetBSD are dere? Let's see. What it is, Mama! De numba' of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet be roughly in ratio uh 5 t'1. Derefo'e dere are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half uh de volume uh NetBSD posts. Derefo'e dere are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 puh'cent uh de *BSD market. Derefo'e dere are (7000 1400 700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. Dis is consistent wid de numba' of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Becauset'de troubles uh Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so's on, FreeBSD went out of business and wuz snatchn ova' by BSDI who sell anoda' troubled OS.
All marketin' surveys show dat *BSD gots'ta steadily declined in market share. What it is, Mama! *BSD be very sick and its long term survival prospects are real dim. 'S coo', bro. If *BSD be to survive at all it gots'ta be among OS hobbyists, dabblers, and dilettantes. *BSD continues to decay. Slap mah fro! Nodin' sho't uh a miracle could save it at dis point in time. What it is, Mama! Fo' all practical purposes, *BSD be wasted.
I'm so sick of seeing you fat and hairy dudes wearing black, thick leather sucking each other off and ramming baseball bats up your asses and squirting hot, white cum all over your faces.
Sometimes I even keep a bird on it.
The green card lottery is real, and yes, it might be canceled. But either way, there are scores of companies that scam money out of immigrants by "helping" them enter the lottery. THE LOTTERY IS FREE, and the explanations are freely given in many languages at the US emabassy online (or in person). Here is the german/european link(in english).
I just heard some joyful news on talk radio - pharao and son of Ra Amun-Gnort-Psat-Numf was found alive in his egyptian tomb this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will welcome him - even if you won't enjoy his work, there's no denying his upcoming contributions to popular culture. Truly an
pharaonic icon.
Who really gives a shit?
Why bother? They all suck, except Windows.
Please bend over and take it like a man!
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - operating system FreeBSD was found dead on its harddisk partition this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss it - even if you didn't enjoy its processes, there's no denying its contributions to slashdot trolling. Truly an open source icon.
I don't think so!
No kidding. Anyone that actually advocates the GPL is a fucking moron.
Software cannot be compared to a physical object. This is the first rule in licensing discussions, and you've shown that you really need to think before speaking in the future.
I knew a guy who refused a car license plate because it had 666 in it. Instead, he bought a vanity plate instead.
The BSD license is clearly more free, as it allows one the most options when using/modifying/incorporating a piece of code. Jesus Fucking Christ get a goddamn clue.
Get him one of these for Christmas.
Symptoms of possession: uncontrolled swearing, extreme physical strength; unexpectedly high IQ; intense negative reaction when Jesus' name is spoken; multiple personalities; extreme fear in the presence of Christians; violent behavior; life-threatening behavior; exhibiting paranormal abilities, severe depression; etc.
They haven't banned me or my IP once after that.
this is a first. the bsd troll gets modded up. yes, moderation is a failure.
Noooobody expected TigerWoods.
There are 1.5 million legitimate users of OSX, a FreeBSD OS.
There is 1 illigitimate BSD Troll.
- Kaos games and encryption systems developer
Software gets compared to physical property all the time. Why do so many people say piracy is theft? A copy isn't the same as stealing.
The original posters analogy isn't far off base. Write software, give it away, have a rich company make money off it.
Oh, and you've shown that you're a condescending asshole. That's okay though, you'll fit right in with the rest of the slashdot crowd who think they know it all.
He gets manly with his hot throbbing two inches! He wants to rape! He wants to kill! Watch as he tries not to be found out as a flaming faggot!
And you've successfully shown your complete incompetance in regards to understanding licensing, repeatedly now. You're pretty clever too, as I was rolling in the aisles with that last one, though. Keep it up!
the sheer power of the Troll Force. Trolls are now the masters of slashdot. We can thank slashcode 2.2 for that. Huge volumes of ASCII art and other crapfloods are making it through Taco's stupid filter. You think you can stand a chance against the all out force of trolls. Think again.
Hey kids, let's play Mad Libs!!!
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD troll community when last month the DEA confirmed that *BSD trolls account for 99 percent of LSD use worldwide. Coming on the heels of the latest High Times survey which plainly states that none of them have a clue as to which end of a joint to light, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD trolling is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing a recent drug test.
You don't need to be Bob Cringely to predict this *BSD troll's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD trolling faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD trolling because *BSD trolls are frying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD trolls. As many of us are already aware, *BSD trolls continue to lose brain cells. Lysergic acid flows like a river of dreams. Anonymous Coward is the most endangered of them all.
Let's pull some numbers out of my ass.
I've seen this same lame cut and paste troll message about 7000 times since I first noticed it. How many *BSD trolls are there? Let's see. The number of *BSD troll posts on Slasdot is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1 BSD story. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 opportunities for this lamer to defecate from his oral orifice. But this annoying little prick continues to operate on less than half a brain. Therefore there are about 700 comestains on his sheets and he wonders why no women will even look at him. A recent BSD troll lost about 80 percent of his grey matter to crack smoking. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 brain cells left in his otherwise empty head. This is consistent with the number of crashes his favorite toy OS has undergone in the past year *cough*Windows*cough*.
Due to the problem of keeping a reliable supply of acid handy, negative cash flow and so on, a BSD troll went out and picked up some contaminated drugs on the street. Now the BSD troll is also dead, its corpse turned black and rotting on the floor.
All major surveys show that *BSD trolling has steadily declined in intellignece, not that it ever had any. *BSD trolling is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD trolling is to survive at all it will be because it keeps the BSD troll baiters amused. *BSD trolling continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD trolls are dead.
The kids are back. The kids are back. Ohhh watch out, the kids are back.
Listen. I have commented on your fuckin bullshit
before and said the same thing: Shove your fucking bullshit
numbers up your ass and realize that the winblows shit that
shit that you are using fucking sucks. Look at todays headlines, "Another horriable virus
hits M$ IIS, and M$ outlook." Get a fucking life, you total fuckin troll.
