OpenBSD's PF Developers Interview
An anonymous reader writes "ONLamp.com has published a very long interview with 6 OpenBSD's PF developers: Cedric Berger (cedric@), Can Erkin Acar (canacar@), Daniel Hartmeier (dharmei@), Henning Brauer (henning@), Mike Frantzen (frantzen@) and Ryan McBride (mcbride@).
Start reading from the first half and continue with the second part."

It is official; Netcraft confirms: *BSD is dying
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 [amdest.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 dbblers. *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
I'd rather read the second half first, then the first half can be like a prequel.
I don't try to be right, I just try to make people think

the prisons in Iraq are really being managed by private contractors, who are all GOP campaign contributors.
American servicemen and women are being blamed in order to protect GOP politicos.
Impeach and then convict Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld.
I see dead people...
Look, I'm no queer but that troll link was damn funny. Complete with video and sound. Compared to the lemonparty and its kind, this was art.
Yup, UNIXware is the next big thing!
This should be modded down for being quite rude and insulting.
Oops, wrong article. This is about OpenBSD.
they suck donkey-wang compared to PF & carp.
I must misunderstand. It almost sounds like you speak of sucking on sweet donkey cock as though it were a bad thing...
now i know you're not really a linux advocate. you're a lunatic wahahahahahaha.
yes they are dead. but rose from the dead with great power. it's harder to kill the undead. so beware! awoooooooo!
they came back from the dead hahaha i see you trembling in fear. ignoring the fact that they are after you. awoooooo!

Hello?
Hm, guess he didn't really care.
nibble nibble munchkin. the M$FT is so big yes. it controls, controls all. the people they walk by i see their feet though my window. their feet swing by the bars on my window. pretty feet shiny shoes. swish swish. are they going to work? i WILL NOT go to work. M$FT is at work. M$FT controls the pretty feet people. controls their money their futures.
...2.6!!!!!!!!! the M$FT it fears the linux. spreads lies. says the linux comes with no warranty. THE WARRANTY IT IS BAD! it goes into your pores. steals your power. the kernel is good. the kernel will rise and slay the M$FT. when the itching comes i think about the linux. it helps.
i sit and rebuld my kernel. my CPU thrums. the kernel it is the key. we hack the linux yes good. 2.3, 2.4, 2.5,
i hack a driver for my dvd-rom. it does not work. i debug. it does not work. i delete the old source. and start again. i recompile. it does not work. on M$FT the dvd-rom is plug and play. that is how they get you. get behind your eyes. start the itching. so i hack the driver. i hack, we hack: we gnaw. gnaw at the ropes of slavery. the ropes of M$FT. pretty feet people, we will save you.
the itching comes...
He's a sad, sad discrace to Open Source as a whole - especially Linux! Shows how little he knows and understands OSS.
woooOOOSH
goes the sound of the guys joke passing over your head.
There really should be an option to filter out people with less than a certain number of comment, or late-series Slashdroids like you. Jesus, you teens are such a waste of free speech space...
Here's one for you:
I saw you
Sucking the cock of the dead corpse
That is *BSD
You felt so sorry for that lump
That dead heap on the slab
That is *BSD
You still pretend it's alive
Such potential for success but something rotting
That is *BSD
You deny yourself the truth
You still pretend that usefulness exists
That is *BSD
Awake from your trance, you insensitive clod
Realize that death is it
Death extends beyond the one
That is *BSD
I happen to know for a fact that Theo likes to fuck dead chickens.
and here's for you:
i saw you
dying in great jealosy
because you only know linux and not bsd
and i know both.
you deny yourself the truth
that bsd rose from the dead
because your brain can't just take it.
you deny the fact that
bsd is alive and kicking now
because your brain can't match the great power of
bsd
i pity people like you my friend
imagining and seeing one sucking cock of dead one
that is not bsd my friend
that is tux, sucking bill gate's cock
stop using drugs my friend
so you can't have many hallucinations.
you can't even win over microsoft
how can you win over bsd?
even solaris kicks your a*s too
don't pretend it is dead
just because you can't understand it
i advise to you my friend
study harder so that one day
your sleeping brain will be awaken.
and also realize the fact
that penguins are tasty snacks.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Only the non-pro-BSD comments are modded down, the others are not! WHAT FAGGOTRY!
