Why FreeBSD
An anonymous reader writes "The FreeBSD operating system is the unknown giant among free operating systems. Starting out from the 386BSD project, it is an extremely fast UNIX-like operating system mostly for the Intel chip and its clones. In many ways, FreeBSD has always been the operating system that GNU/Linux-based operating systems should have been. It runs on out-of-date Intel machines and 64-bit AMD chips, and it serves terabytes of files a day on some of the largest file servers on earth."
He didn't even flag it for the BSD section on the site. I guess this is a step up from that RAID article, though.
Jesus Christ, is this post a bloody propaganda speech or something? Slashdot - keeping the Nuremburg spirit alive!

Well, if anybody asserts that "Windows is the operating system that Linux should have been", they clearly deserve a bashing.
Skippy is the unknown giant among peanut butters. Starting out from George Washington Carver's project, it is an extremely creamy spreadable peanut product mostly for the "& Jelly" sandwich and its clones. In many ways, Skippy has always been the peanut butter that Peter Pan should have been. It spreads on Wonder Bread and artisan sourdough loafs fresh from the oven, and it serves terabites of children a day on some of the largest daycare centers on earth.
Isn't it dead?
...and some stink!
But BSD is dying! I thought everyone knew that. I guess someone forgot to tell CmdrTaco.

Seems like an informative and unbiased article, but I couldn't help but laugh at the author's email address. Especially given the "FreeBSD has always been the operating system that GNU/Linux-based operating systems should have been" jab that the story submitter felt compelled to include.

I've gone through all the kudo's about FreeBSD being stable
Give back what you've stolen from Mr Kudo.
I wrote this a while ago but it seems applicable here.
Linux vs. FreeBSD
Hell -- the devil makes me want to try it!

...and others are fun to lick.
Wait, what?
'Yes, firefox is indeed greater than women. Can women block pops up for you? No. Can Firefox show you naked women? Yes.'
FreeBSD is for people who hate Linux.
OpenBSD is for people who hate everyone.
sigs are for fools and trolls. no signature is *always* appropriate. you should turn them off in your preferences.
That doesn't help those of us who have the BSD section disabled intentionally.
What about NetBSD? You forgot NetBSD!
NetBSD is like Poland - it keeps chugging along, but everyone forgets about it.
