    Based on the lack of activity in this forum, I think that it is safe to say that BSD users have been driven out by the trolls.... or they are just too busy downloading all those ports to actually come and post here. ;-)

      The sad part is that it's true. I used to be one of those people. I thought I was 31337 because I ran FreeBSD while the unwashed masses were running Linux. Luckily, I grew out of that phase. Now I know I'm 31337 because I run Gentoo! (Just kidding! Please don't beat me up!)

    Does the phrase: "Crusty, unmaintained, or otherwise useless" ring any bells?

    Everytime I look at you, my love.
