    I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a BSD box (a PIII 800 w/512 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder.

    First off, there are not 'folders' on a BSD box, there are DIRECTORIES.
    Secondly, A 17 meg file talking 20 minutes to copy? - tell ya what....to prove you are not a liar or totally incompentant, why don't you tell us where this system is, just to see this problem. Because if you are right, you have found a bug....again, assuming you are not a liar or incompentant.

    I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various BSD machines,

    Really? A laundry list? Would you not be willing to show this list because of your incompentancy, or because you are a liar?

    if a hosting company is using Win98 as a production hosting server they should be prevented from breeding.

    Do not worry. If using Win98 as a production hosting server, they would be too busy problem solving to have time to breed!

    As usual, slashdotters aren't reading the article.

    The article says that BSD-based services are very reliable, and tend to not die. And it is a Netcraft article, so...

    Netcraft confirms: *BSD is not dying.
