Screw the naysayers who said FreeBSD wouldn't make it.

Waste of time even linking to such unfounded garbage. I would've been disappointed in myself for reading it, if it wasn't for the comedy factor.

The whole thread reeks of trolls and teenage-conspiracy-loving gullibility.

Thanks for the laugh.

Why does anybody care what some forum troll on Phoronix says? I was replying to a statement that made it sound like Linux users had declared jihad on FreeBSD.

Why does anyone care what Eric S. Raymond says?

Slashdotters were quite certain of FreeBSD's impending death when a story about the fundraiser not having reached its goal yet from not so long ago.
