    High Times has confirmed: *BSD is dying
    Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently High Times confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest HighTimes 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 [HighTimes.com] in the recent HighTimes comprehensive networking test.
    All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and 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 all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

    Fact: Linux sucks dead donkey cock.
    Only homosexuals use linux.

    Furthermore,slashdot is for sickos.
