In regards to BSD, it died the day Linux 2.4 was released. I deal with |
| 14 |
it on a daily basis as an admin and take great joy at plotting its total |
| 15 |
replacement with Linux, any Linux. |

It's good to see BSD getting off it's insular and inbred ass and doing |
| 18 |
something like PC-BSD. I'm sure it'll be successful in keeping the |
| 19 |
faithful from having to run Linux on their desktops, but I don't see it |
| 20 |
pulling many newer users in when you can run Ubuntu, Gentoo, or half a |
| 21 |
dozen other systems. However I'm extra grumpy today and the retarded |
| 22 |
legacy BSD4 servers are responsible. Maybe PC-BSD is more interesting |
| 23 |
than doing things Linux distros have been doing since they began. Is it? |
