  1. I have been impressed... by brilinux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As someone who has used multiple Un*x-like OSes, such as FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Gentoo Linux, Debian GNU/Linux (and I am not a zealot for any of them - imagine that!), and others, I have found that if I want to know about saomething or how to do something, FreeBSD has always been the best at having the information availiable. It is very easy to find what I need to know, and everything seems done very logically. Good Job, guys!

  2. For Such A Critical Yet Thankless Job... by devphaeton · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Thankyou to all the folks that have created the world-class documentation system to go with the world-class OS that is FreeBSD.

    *thumbs up*

    This pathetic troll is trying to put FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD developers against each other. He already spammed the FreeBSD mailing lists, www.osnews.com, and slashdot.
    He makes unsubstantiated claims, then asking other people to provide explanations to his trolling bullsh*t statements - a troll technique as old as the internet.
    I heavily suspect this is the brainless GNU zealot that has spammed /. BSD section with innumerable FUD-spreading "death" messages - which, OTOH, don't seem to have provided the desired deleterious effect. :-)

    If I may, I'd suggest to wait for him to provide proof of the BS he's uttering, and in the meantime, just to leave him in his misery, since every argumentative answer will just (ehm... you know) feed the troll. On the other hand, I think insults are ok. :-)
    Thank you for your eventual attention.
