If it's dying why do so many trolls waste so much bandwidth on trying to convince people that a "dead" os is "dead"?

Re:*BSD is dying

[Terry Dignon]

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,

Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.

Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house

*BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim

*BSD continues to decay

Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time.

For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead

the only thing i admired about this post was your ability to say the same thing over and over and over and over...with no proof whatsoever. the link you gave has nothing to do with the argument surrounding it and your facts have no base (you just made them up on the spot)

Ok...

IANAT, but: Since when has a new issue of a magazine coming out been such big news that it deserves a story on slashdot?

Re:Ok...

[MavEtJu]

Go to your userpage
Go to homepage
Go to Exclude Stories from the Homepage
Go to sections
Tick BSD
Go to the bottom
Click save

It's not that difficult...

Guess it's along similar lines to:
2.1.2.1.2.3.1 kernel out!
2.1.2.1.2.3.2 kernel out!
2.1.2.1.2.3.3 kernel out!

Daemon News goes Weekly!

[Anonymous Coward]

Or at least it should. I'm hungry for *BSD news, and read the issue, then go back and read it again two weeks later, having forgot what I read, until it sinks in. More! Give me MORE!

Re:Slashdot's BSD section is dying

[Anonymous Coward]

There really isn't a need for a BSD section here because it only repeats what is already available in the Daemonnews. The /. BSD section probably does more harm than good since it is a magnet for trolls and naysayers.

Re:Slashdot's BSD section is dying

Throughout history it has been this way. Those whose superior intellect and capacity for getting extraordinary results from tools/machines are always, as you pointed out (IDC reports), in the top 1%.

Now why don't you just go listen to the the linux kernel source being read aloud. I'm sure you'll find it scintillating.

Big news?

It's not exactly big news. It's not on the front page, just in the BSD section, Slashdot's version of page 12 below the fold.

In other BSD news....
