    If BSD dies, it will really be a bad day, since I'll be forced to run my servers with shitty, bloated code that is riddled with security problems (you guys call it Linux, if I recall correctly). Obligatory "the difference between BSD and Linux users is that BSD users get laid and Linux people are fat creepy nerds with no life" joke goes here.

    Great! FreeBSD is grown a lot lately, the default installation is over 800 MB.

    Dang! At current prices, that'll cost me nearly 14 cents. That's just unacceptable.

    Sarcasm aside, I think FreeBSD long ago gave up any pretense of being a minimal OS. There's nothing at all wrong with that goal, but FreeBSD's target hardware is larger servers.

    Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
