BSD User Groups?
*no comment* writes "Deadly.org has an article running that started out as a call for Seattle OpenBSD people to start a local usergroup, but has since turned into a thread for people all over the country looking for people."

I accept NetBSD. I hate OpenBSD and think Theo is a Fucking unoriginal arrogant asshole. (Cant do SMP, stole the idea of SSH from Tatu, I hate Tatu but he didt invent SSH, and he stole the idea of pf from ipf, and he is a know nothing all round arrogant fag)
But...
FREEBSD is god. Ask BigIP/F5. Ask Juniper. FreeBSD is god. And all you pansy loser pukes who still use Linux should go and get a sanity check, that would make you fags. FreeBSD: coherent, well documented, fast and comercially viable, and far easier to port cleanly and reliably than Line-sucks.
All you pussy loser VA Linux loving Slashdot zealot pukes need to get with the program and cleanseyourself of the Linux filth. FreeBSD or DIE. Live Free or Die.
Thanks, and if you dont agree, fuck off and die you god damn mediocritomaton RPM loving Microsoft zealot fag.
FreeBSD is for those who love Unix, Linux are for those who hate Microsoft (generally because they used it too much)
MUHAHAHHAHAHAHA. FreeBSD is pax romana!
BSD is dead! Christ how many times do we have to go over this.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent 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 fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the 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, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
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 and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante 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: *BSD is dying
That is usually where they hang out.
*BSD R.I.P.
