Didn't Ryan Bingham do this already?

I don't use BSD, I just wanted to see if the "BSD is dying" troll still posted. It has been years, eh?

It does also seem to me that the FreeBSDk thing is meant to make certain features available to developers, maybe be more reliable, and "faster, faster" isn't being sold as part of the bill of goods. Yet, the talk returns to speed, speed, speed.

But what do I know... I work as a nurse. Although... I DO love a fast computer.

But only if they have to do it on punch cards, like I did. Give each student a can of WD40 to keep the machines working smoothly, too.

I just remember being thrilled at a command prompt with something other than DOS. Some early Redhat it was. And then getting an X-window up and loving the right-click.

What did I "do"? I just enjoyed the thrill. Late 90's or so.

I remember law students staring at me sideways in 1999 when I booted Caldera on my laptop... just wanted to see how wasy it was to use real-time in class. People still stare funny when they see Linux on a laptop.

The Asus 1000HE, latest model. Very zippy, windows XP does the simple stuff well and works with IE easily so I can use it at work.

I like Linux, but it isn't worth the effort on the little machine. I dual boot my big desktop.

When the first questionable but exciting buzzwords come to life, just explain away the doubters with more buzzwords that sound even better!!
