    I seem to recall hearing somewhere (here maybe?) that BSD was dying. Can anyone confirm these rumors?

    Yes, Netcraft can.

    Actually, last thing I heard most BSD forks are actually undead by now, ready to become our new free-as-in-not-RMS overlords.

    To open firefox or openoffice or netbeans takes very long.

    Wait, you mean there are systems on which loading OpenOffice or Netbeans doesn't take a long time? Man, I need to get a new computer. ;-)

    Yeah, GUIs are so overrated. Obviously a passing fad. I expect we'll go back to doing everything on the command line any day now.
