Re: Why are some linux users saying that FreeBSD is dying

2008-04-08 Thread Wojciech Puchar


"FreeBSD is a dying OS because netcraft.com confirms it" that's the argument 
used some of these guys, and I'm wondering what data are they using to make


but what's a point of such discussions at all?

let they use their favourite linux, You use FreeBSD.
that's all.

If you think FreeBSD is superior (like me), be happy most use linux. So 
you can offer better/cheaper services than them.

It would be helpful if you provided a  URL for the article. I do not
think they mean that FreeBSD systems are dying in terms of crashing or
uptime. They might mean that the Free BSD community is not growing as
fast or staying as active as the Linux community.

I think perhaps the Linux users who say those things are just trying 
to get people to use Linux, for political reasons and not because 
Linux is necessarily "better".


I'm trying to find out what they are looking at in netcraft that can 
possibly prove their point.


It's a troll. See http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1391352 for

It's just a silly troll, the people who repeat it are not referring to 
any actual evidence.
