Nearly 2 Million Active Sites running FreeBSD

Posted by michael on from the running-the-numbers dept.

Echo|Fox writes "So much for *BSD is dying. The latest Netcraft survey shows over 2 million active sites, and almost 4 million active hostnames all running on FreeBSD. Combined with the report that 5 of the top 10 hosting companies in terms of reliability were FreeBSD based, it's been a very positive month *BSD wise. Perhaps the most interesting quote from the survey is: 'Indeed it [FreeBSD] is the only other operating system that is gaining, rather than losing share of the active sites found by the Web Server Survey.'"

    This doesn't show anything! I'm a big fanboy for:

    _____ -- put OS here

    That runs:

    _____ -- put web server here

    And it's just as reliable and good as FreeBSD.
    Hell, It's BETTER because:

    ___________________________-- put dubious statistics here

    _______ -- put marketing rhetoric here

    And besides, you can't do:

    ________ -- put proprietary technology here

    with FreeBSD anyway so it's worthless!!!

    For every annoying gentoo user, are three even more annoying anti-gentoo crybabies. Take Yosh from #Gimp for example.
