    BSD is not dead, it's just homeless for the time being.

    Please expect this fine OS to be smelling a bit ripe at your nearest highway exit ramp with a sign that says "Will boot for partition space".

    The "bsd is dying" rumours are taking on a life of their own.

    It's almost as bad as the "Apple is dying" nonsense that's been going on since 1984.

    But wait a minute...Apple's OSX runs a BSD variant....omg! IT's TRUE! IT'S TRUE!!!!
