    Why do they keep beating a dead horse? Jeez, you'd think they'd find something better to do. FreeBSD is about a relevant as Gopher.

      Debian called - it wants to know why you have only been running the same install since 2001.

      Honestly, I thought FreeBSD was okay in the late '90s, but it's managed by a bunch of puffed-up egotists and nepotists who seem to deliberately refuse to document - or do anything else which would increase the pool of systems developers.

      At least de Raadt, for all his unsupportable fuckwittery, has a goal beyond himself. And NetBSD, in it's time... well, "of course it runs" it. But FreeBSD, like Yahoo, is just inertia.

    We get way too many of these incremental updates posted as 'news' here now...

    It's not news. And it's not stuff that matters.

    What's that? Some new fangled waana-be OS that's going to topple Linux?

    Billions of flies like to eat it, but does that mean that you also want to eat it?
