FreeBSD Ports for GNU/Linux
proclus writes: "GNU-Darwin has provided a special FreeBSD ports tarball (20 Mb) for GNU/Linux users. We have modified the FreeBSD Ports System to bring thousands of free software offerings within the reach of every GNU/Linux user. The system is not fully automated yet, but you can untar it in your home directory and try it. Just follow these directions. This system provides full access to the FreeBSD ports, so that users can compile and install software in their home directories. Root access is not required."
Could you send the script to astroman1492@yahoo.com, please?
Quick! Someone nab the code, and port BSD to windows!
Then sell it as proprietary software!
BSD is undead !
Get off Linux you ugly zombies !
testing, ignore this shit

In short, Mackga, you suck!
People of Slashdot, do not be fooled. It is important that you know that mackga is a sand nigger. Thank you for your attention.
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some karma
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my obnoxious trolls
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on Taco
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free
Mackga: "I was treated very badly by the prison guards, because in Romania there is no approval for those who have had relations between the same sex," he said. "And worse, the guards... beat me and insulted me. Criminals are better regarded than a relationship between two men. So because of this homosexual or lesbian thing, I was treated like the lowest of the low."
Amnesty International is appealing to the Romanian Senate to adopt legislation recently drafted by the government that would repeal Article 200. You can join us in this effort!
The little shite deserves all the bashing he gets!
Dood. I hear you will send port ot people if they ask. Could you send me some porn? Just email it to call_apple@hotmail.com. thanks, man!
Too bad it's disgusting gay porn.
You're mackga's little bitch.
Fight fire with fire!
The ending is near!
Wrapped up tight,
I can't move at all,
I am dying to live,
I'm trapped under ice!
You couldn't be more wrong.
Wouldn't it be nice to have all these OSs play nice together? Each is afraid of the others' licenses, and rarely do we get things like this.
Yet another 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 th 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 t 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.
*BSD is dying
woah weird. Just as I read that comment, James sang that. I guess Ride The Lightning is the official trolling album.
