  1. There are more BSD than Linux boxes.. by Homology · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Yep, this must come as a terrible blow to the "BSD is dead" crowd ;-)

    More proof that BSD are a lively corpse : "By the way, some time ago I heard an advocacy speech by Murray Stokely who said something amazing that I think we should write everywhere. If you take Linux as a unique movement, then it is bigger than FreeBSD, but if you take each distribution (per Netcraft's Linux OS detection statistics), then FreeBSD has more users than Red Hat. Did you know that?"

      I think it is safe to say that neither system will die in the forseeable future, unless something rather strange happens. I think it is just the "1337 h4x0rZ" that bash BSD for no reason. The main reason I use Linux instead: better desktop functionality, documentation, and support. If the BSDs had done this when they had the chance, linux would be dead.
