FreeBSD 10-Year Anniversary Tonight 79

    Being a BSD user who's also a profesisonal DJ in the Bay area..... it might have been appropriate.
    Hey, I'd even put on my BSD daemon outfit I wore while performing for halloween

    Then again I use linux too.

    What do you poor *BSD people do to deserve this? All the trolls, I mean. I guess there is no denying there are a lot of bad attitudes, but is it so much worse than the Linux community?

    Although this is surely its more than one poor idiot who got a one liner patch to ls rejected and has a chip on his shoulder. Then again, maybe not - I underestimate the power of the nerd scorned...

      You mean all the BSD is dying posts? It's not as if anyone takes it seriously. I hope not, anyway. All I see it as, is a bit of cheeky banter between the Linux and BSD fans. The BSD people give it as well as receive it, y'know.

    This is getting out of hand, the last 30 or so comments have all been bsd is dying trolls. Maybe censorship isn't such a bad thing?

      I didn't know about these particular trolls today until I read your post (I am browsing at 1). So I guess a person censoring what they want to see is probably best.

    Would some one please clue me in to why people have such a negative view of BSD's? I just dont understand. I use FreeBSD for something every day, and it has'nt failed on me yet.

  • If *BSD is so bad, why do people keep trolling it and trying to bash it, and say "oh, look, our linsux/winblows is better than *BSD".

    It's about time people start getting a grip!

    I for one would like to have the financial resources to allow myself an indulgency as to participate in BSD's 10 years party.

  • I guess we will not miss much, atleast if you have a broadband lying around. http://www.dnalounge.com/cam/ and watch the live webcast.

    I better grab my beer from the fridge.

  • If all the people crying above about BSD being dead why bother about it, why write about? If you people think your favourite OS is better than BSD think again, since i don't think windows, linux or BSD are the cutting edge OS'es. As for *BSD is dying. The latest Netcraft survey [netcraft.com] shows over 2 million active sites, and almost 4 million active hostnames all running on FreeBSD. Combined with the report [netcraft.com]that 5 of the top 10 hosting companies in terms of reliability were FreeBSD based.
  • but at that time I will be safely tucked up in bed. Anyway way to go FreeBSD. Have a drink on me

  • that all the cvs trees have had a code freeze before the party starts and for the rest of the week, I don't want no drunken/hungover commits breaking my builds ;)

    WTG FreeBSD, have a 10 year old single malt from the 51st State
