This just in: FreeBSD 4.5 is DYING. You don't have to be Kreskin to predict FreeBSD's future.

No, but it does come with extra unusability. Why anyone would use something as worthless as *BSD is beyond me. It doesn't enough have the rudimentary installation process of a Red Hat or a Mandrake. Absolutely pointless. Gimme Win2K of WinXP any day.

That some people might install FreeBSD 4.5 RC3 is no big deal. Most Slashdot users are used to using beta software, like Linux.

Let me guess, you're a Debian user? :-)

idiot...

muahahahhahahaaa...

BSD forever...

Slashdot is dead

[Xiphius]

Five years ago, Slashdot was a great site with users who had a certain degree of intellect. These days, Slashdot seems to be a mere joke.

The number of trolls is dramatically high, which makes the "slashdot-feeling" go away. Too bad. Maybe it's time to ban trolls...

To be not totally off-topic, FreeBSD 4.5 will be a great release, trust me...

/. .. correction.. the media is really losing it

[degauss]

I mean come on... the day after the whole free energy thing blows over, /. follows up in this "great" journalism by falsely reporting that BSD 4.5 is out..

I'm just beside myself here...
