Uhh.. yeah. what you said. Hotmail's mail servers run FreeBSD, Yahoo! uses FreeBSD on over 4000 servers... Hell, apache.org is even running on FreeBSD. Even the Apache people are smart enough to run THEIR own webserver on a "real unix"
Secondly, take a look at Netcraft's longest uptimes. I counted 6 out of 50 that weren't FreeBSD.. The 6 Non-BSD machines run IRIX, btw.
Marketshare-wise, between Yahoo's 4000 FreeBSD boxes, and all of Hotmail's FreeBSD mail servers, I think it's doing quite well..
There may be more local ISP's with their 5 machines running linux than there are running FreeBSD, but so what?
How many times have I compiled a "stable" and had it not boot? FreeBSD: 0 Linux:lost count
How many times have I rebooted after new kernel, and corrupted all mounted filesystems? FreeBSD: 0 Linux: 0, but I laughed like hell when it happend to you.
Even if FreeBSD did cease to exist, and develpoment stopped, I would still use it, because it is that damn good.
Oh, and considering DARPA is putting a bunch of money into furthering FreeBSD development, I don't see it going anywhere soon.

Off the top of my head NetBSD-stable kernels don't corrupt all dismounting filesystems. Only one linux kernel has so far, but I'm sure there's more to come.
I don't think Linux was prepared for the mass hysteria surronding linux, and is becoming bored of supervising the kernel.
no, the kernel is the kernel, and the os are all the apps debian wrote to interact with the kernel and the kernel. a windows nt machine uses microsoft's nt kernel, but it's still the windows os. all linux distros are their own os's with their own unique directory structure (debian puts rc files in "/etc/rc.d/rc1.d" whereas redhat thinks they should be in "/etc/rc1.d", etc.) netbsd, or more preferable freebsd (I had to plug it), supply their own kernel and userland apps that make up the os.
Actually, if RedHat sold to AOl, that doesn't mean Linus works for aol, is entitled to a free aol account, etc.. Linus makes the [as of lately] shitty linux kernel, all the other userland apps and layout of filesystem, etc. is designed by the distrobutions. debian, redhat, and so on. the operating system is red hat. the kernel the os uses is linux. It just peevs me when people don't understand that. I personally dont even use or like linux, and I at least understand the difference. and no, I dont use windows, I use a real unix, freebsd!
You know how many times I've compiled a linux kernel, and had it hang booting back up?? NOw I buildworld, and use at to reboot at 4am, and never worry..

Actually, thanks to Apple, there's more BSD desktops now than there are Linux desktops.
zlib is one of the main reasons I don't use Linux.
Before downloading your patch, maybe consider downloading FreeBSD instead. =)
You are totally correct. openSSH, and portmap for sure.. I want to say sendmail is also enabled..? I use FreeBSD mostly, so I'm not 100% sure.
hahaha. rotfl. It is kinda funny that all his apps require 3+ users, tcpserver, etc., but I still use djbdns and qmail...
Apple didn't use NetBSD, they use FreeBSD!
Exactly what I said to myself about a year ago.. I've been using BSD since, and haven't looked back!
Secondly, take a look at Netcraft's longest uptimes. I counted 6 out of 50 that weren't FreeBSD.. The 6 Non-BSD machines run IRIX, btw.

Maybe Alan could go help out the FreeBSD people.. Not that Matt Dillon isn't the man.. But..

Yeah baby, FreeBSD all the way!

That's why I use FreeBSD!
that's why you don't use linux. you use freebsd.
ROTFL! Sign me up! I'm usually a T when I play CS, but if I can frag one of them and take their AK, I'll gladly be a CT.
