I guess that was my fault, the semi-colons in your winking smileys looked like colons when I looked the first time. I didn't catch the sarcasm.

 

Believe it or not, I actually got a decent amount of sleep for a change, so I don't have that excuse today... oh well. :-/

Subject: BSD Dying?

Hum.  My attempt at humor most certainly failed.

BSD is not dying at all, agreed.  I run FreeBSD on my laptop, webserver and a few other boxes.  OpenBSD is on my firewall.  In other words, I like and use *BSD.

I was poking fun at Slashdot trolls.  Sometimes the "BSD is dying" noise is deafening.

I'm anxious to see how DragonflyBSD turns out, by the way.  Matt Dillon is bringing his knowledge of AmigaOS and the whole messaging/light weight threads aspect of microkernels to

the FreeBSD 4.8 branch.  Should be interesting.

PS. sorry about the funky line breaks and page-widening crap.  I'm currently fighting with my mailer.  It's winning.

Where did you hear that it was dying? BSD is very much alive. I'm not reccommending it because he's porting existing apps, but if he were starting from scratch on these servers, BSD would be my reccomendation. Linux is stable as hell, but BSD is more so. BSD just doesn't have the level of module development that Linux does.
