I seem to recall hearing somewhere (here maybe?) that BSD was dying. Can anyone confirm these rumors?

Dead OS booting! We have a dead OS booting here!

Dead OS booting!

(I'm just joking, I know that BSD is a real Unix when compared with that toy-crap known as Linux.)

To open firefox or openoffice or netbeans takes very long.

Wait, you mean there are systems on which loading OpenOffice or Netbeans doesn't take a long time? Man, I need to get a new computer. ;-)
