    I know the slashdot staff made a joke, but since sometimes these are not obvious to everybody (among the comments there's even an AC seriously talking about BSD "declining"), it could be useful to quickly review the facts:
    FreeBSD, Stealth-Growth Open Source Project
    Nearly 2.5 Million Active Sites running FreeBSD
    "FreeBSD has dramatically increased its market penetration over the last year."

    I picked the articles about FreeBSD because it's the BSD "mainstream" version, and now I'm talking about popularity. Of course this means nothing about the quality (let's remember that Windows is the "mainstream" OS... ;). In fact, NetBSD and OpenBSD are usually considered on the same level of excellence.
