Fry's Electronics - Selling Linux... Or Not?
TheMadPenguin writes "For those of you who may not be aware, Fry's Electronics has been selling a Linux desktop PC loaded with ThizLinux for quite a while now. The question is, are they really selling it? The answer is a definitive no."
I know it's hard to believe that a woman would read Slashdot (especially an attractive one), but after going back to college and working part-time at Hooters to pay the tuition, I got my CS degree. So I guess I'm not your traditional booth babe, but I'm a babe and I'm in a booth (even if I'm one of the vendors ^_^). Hope to see you there! I'm still looking for the right Linux hacker to be with, you know...
I LIKE MEN
i'm fine thanks! wanna fuck?

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 [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] 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
It is official; Netcraft now confirms: *BSD is dying

There are fables of a whisper of a golden age of freedom, a time long since passed, in which all men communed in the delights of internet equality. This golden age delivered freedom to all that chose to accept it. We lost this freedom long ago.
It is in this absence of liberty that we find ourselves fighting a war on the digital front, gentleman. This conflict is one of ideals; combat between the old and the new. Victory promises a glorious renaissance of Internet communication and a transformation in the way in which we share our ideologies.
We must not allow ourselves to exist under an oppressive regime that would limit our posting of ASCII artwork. Never again shall we tolerate the crime of unjustly censoring our fellow brothers whom seek to be the first to proclaim his or her existence within a thread. No longer shall we allow our brothers to be arbitrarily silenced - allowed to speak a mere ten times each day because of their ideologies. If we do not make a stand now, my friends, we will forever be oppressed.
Together, we can once again release the glorious and enchanting light of righteousness upon this collection of threads. No longer shall we be called troll! Let the call to arms echo across the great digital chasm and sweep through the halls of our enemies! Let us make hell our enemies homes!
This is a war, and we are soldiers.
Looks like this thread is on the train to lamesville, baby.
