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

2008-04-09 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.

 Is the data from netcraft reliable?

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.

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

You should ask them what they are looking at, not us.

It's a long-standing joke repeated by trolls on Slashdot:

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