Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when
recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of
1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft
survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this
news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing
in complete disarray, as further exemplified by
failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive
networking test.
You don't need to be a
Kreskin to
predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces
a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD
because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many
of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows
like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all,
having lost 93% of its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo
states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are
there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is
roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD
users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD
posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article
put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are
(7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the
number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek,
abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was
taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also
dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All
major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD
is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is
to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to
decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For
all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

Fact: *BSD is dead
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
