FreeBSD: Not Exactly Dead
quantumice writes "It would seem that despite being dead and there only being six of us who use it, FreeBSD has clocked up nearly 2.5 million active sites according to Netcraft. So by my estimates that must mean that I and each of my 5 friends run 416 667 sites. That might explain my high bandwidth usage."
Start your trolling
does this mean that domain hijackers/squatters use openbsd? They sure could use the security anyways..
what a pointless story!

- Rule of BSD Club: Don't talk about BSD
- if this is your first night with BSD, you have to code
The rules of Linux Club:Bah... The reason BSD Club has those rules is because the members are dying, so they are unable to talk anymore and the new recruits are the only ones that aren't suffering from horrible diseases that prevent them from coding. The new recruits have to pick up the slack.
Since when has the BSD crowd enjoyed posting flamebait? Hehe. Aren't you breaking your rules?
Oh, and Linux is SO COOL! SCO SUCKS. Microsft.. *checks his notes* sucks! Is that still the stance, or are we hating someone else now?
All in jest though. I want to have some BSD installs, but I am quite lacking in hardware. Perhaps one of the dying folks would leave me a spare box in their will?
That's scary.
I love the way I can build the whole system from source, but I am wanting to try out Linux kernel. Is there a similar Linux system for free? Thanx.
That's nothing compared to the downtimes. I have a 200Mhz notebook running FreeBSD 3.5 which I haven't switched on once these last two years. (Most likely because I dropped it and the screen stopped working).

Uhm... If FreeBSD is realllly slow, then it's time buy a new computer.
A BSD troll is like a retarded kid with a xylophone.
You're saying since FreeBSD doesn't have 2.5 million prepubescent screaming nerds running it, the media doesn't pay attention? That sounds like a good thing! In fact, it sounds like a new motto:
FreeBSD: Move out of your parent's basement!
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
Is that you don't have to deal with all that GPL bullshit.
BSD = Capitalism friendly
Nono.. There must be 7 because I use it too and I don't know any of you other 6 guys (or gals if there are any, but then this is slashdot and if even the Linux users can't get any, how on earth are dead FreeBSD users supposed to get any).
