    Why do BSD users want to be like Linux users if they hate Linux?

    Linux is the Free Unix OS that can serve up web pages faster than Win2k, as well as outrun it in Quake 3. The left over niche which FreeBSD aims to fill must be terribly small..

    The three Nvidia developers who developed these drivers increased the size of the FreeBSD community by 300%!

    I geddit. You're like one of those shy types who thought of this post right from the start, but since you only just left your mom's house you're a bit afraid of making a fool of yourself so didn't post it - I mean, just in case the others didn't find it funny. Not to mention the risk of losing your precious karma - OMG, posting at +1.

    I think there actually was an interview with Theo a while back where he estimated the number of OpenBSD users. He might have said 7,000, I'm not quite sure, it was in that range anyway. But the rest is definitely made up.

    these kind of comments crack me up!

    Just what games DO you play on Windows, that you could play on Linux? Starcraft? Doom? Quake? Sims? Try some real games, pal. For example, Vampire: The Redemption, High Heat Baseball 2K2, Gothic. Oh, I forgot, you can't play those kinds of games on Linux or Unix ;) But, you weren't going to mention that were you? Sure sounds like you have a limited gaming arena, buddy. Maybe you ought to take a look at the XBox or PS2 or GameCube.
