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.

    that *BSD is dying. No, this isn't the same copy-paste deal, but it's true. FreeBSD suffers from laughable performance, poor scalability, and an almost total lack of commercial software support. No to mention its uncertain future -- Walnut Creek, its primary distributor, was purchased by BSDi, and BSDi was recently purchsed by Wind River. Now, when you go to the FreeBSD Mall, you find out that "some products & services have temporarily become unavailable." Temporarily, my ass: FreeBSD is dead. This fact is further evidenced by the fact that the Mall website can't be accessed without the "www." prefix -- the site is being run by amateurs.

    (The one thing that the FreeBSD team isn't amateurish about is gay sex. It's well known that several prominent former CSRG workers take it up the ass as often as possible, and their "users group meetings" are held in highway washrooms. The fact the FlamingBSD is based in San Francisco is further proof that FreeBSD is the OS of choice for queer nancies. Finally, while I despise Christians, I will note that the BSD mascot is reminisent of an evil deity who Christians believe homosexuals will meet in the afterlife.)

    OpenBSD isn't much better. I find it highly amusing that a uniprocessor server OS can exist in the year 2001, but I guess that OpenBSD's five users have their reasons. Theo "The Rat" de Raadt is a well known bitch/asshole, which is why he was kicked off the NetBSD core team. (NetBSD has always taken a firm stance of bitches/assholes, and The Rat's bitchiness/assholery was not not tolerated once it was discovered.) Also, The Rat's anti-US sentiments leads many to believe that he was behind the recent World Grave Center "incident."

    Last, and definitely least, is NetBSD. While their hardline anti-Rat policy is to be commended, NetBSD is a joke. It's great that they've managed to port their outdated UNIX-wannabe to everything on the planet with a circuit board, as well as some citrus fruit, but such portability has no practical application when viewed in light of performance, scalabilty, stability, and software support that are even outdone by FreetofuckmenBSD.

    In short, *BSD is dying. I hope that these "Antiamerican Megafags" learn the truth and are anally sodomized in the butt by their competitors. Indeed, they must be in a poor position already, to have considered using Cheap Software in the enterprise.

    Thank you.

    *BSD is dyin' Yet t'other cripplin' bombshell hit th' beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC cornfirmed thet *BSD accounts fo' less than a frackshun of 1 percent of all sarvers. Comin' on th' heels of th' latess Netcraf' survey which plainly states thet *BSD has lost mo'e market share, this hyar noos sarves t'reinfo'ce whut we've known all along, acco'din' t' th' code o' th' heells! *BSD is collapsin' in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failin' daid last [sysadminmag, acco'din' t' th' code o' th' heells!com] in th' recent Sys Admin comprehensive netwawkin' test. Yo' doesn't need t'be a Krehide [amdest.com] t'predick *BSD's future. Th' han' writin' is on th' wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fack thar won't be enny future at all fo' *BSD on account o' *BSD is dyin'. Thin's is lookin' mighty bad fo' *BSD. As menny of us is already aware, *BSD corntinues t'lose market share. Red ink flows like a rivah of blood, cuss it all t' tarnation. FreeBSD is the dawgoned-est indangered of them all, ah reckon. Less keep t'th' facks an' look at th' numbers. OpenBSD leader Theo states thet thar is 7000 users of OpenBSD. How menny users of NetBSD is thar? Less see. Th' number of OpenBSD vahsus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 t'1. Tharfo'e thar is about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet is about ha'f of th' voloom of NetBSD posts. Tharfo'e thar is about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of th' *BSD market. Tharfo'e thar is (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This hyar is cornsissent wif th' number of FreeBSD Usenet posts. Due t'th' troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales an' so on, FreeBSD went outta business an' was taken on over by BSDah who sell t'other troubled OS. Now BSDah is also daid, its co'pse turned on over t'yet t'other charnel house. All majo' surveys show thet *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is mighty sick an' its long term survival prospecks is mighty dim, dawgone it. Eff'n *BSD is t'survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD corntinues t'decay. Nothin' sho't of a miracle c'd save it at this hyar point in time. Fo' all prackical purposes, *BSD is daid. *BSD is dyin'
