  1. *BSD Dying: No it Isn't by MemeTransport · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Apple's Darwin is largely based on FreeBSD with a smattering of stuff from the others. The Kernal is a modified Mach Kernal. If people can accept it as a legitimate branch on the BSD tree then *BSD will soon be the most common *nix on the planet. And on desktops!

    It may be that BSD's future is on the desktop while Linux takes the server space. Or alternatively, that the BSD's remain small but important platforms for special purposes and developing new ideas.

    So what's dying?
