BSD is Dying, Jason Dixon, NYCBSDCon 2007

[MrIntosh]

BSDISAWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! Linux is smoking blob. When I run Linux, I make sure I run all open source software(EXCEPT my wifi driver)

[replay0018]

@MrIntosh AND ATI driver because the open source radeon driver sucks.

[enyawix]

BSD rocks but there are too few drivers in every version I have tried for my server needs.

[moodyoldmoo]

The problem I find with BSD is that there are so many variants of it, if they were all distros like Linux then I wouldn't mind but it seems too fragmented with all the variant. I think a merger of the BSD's would really help.

[blahdelablah]

@moodyoldmoo

Eh? You complain BSD is fragmented and then hold up Linux as an example of unity. Quite frankly, if you're unsure about which one to run, just run the one which is best suited to your needs, which is probably PC-BSD.

[hck112]

You guys hate Linux just because they are better and more users than you? Don't be a bunch of losers and get up. We are both fighting the same battle against Microsoft and Apple, just don't be a back stabber and bind together.

[bobdole57]

BSD isn't fighting a battle against Microsoft and Apple, thats half the point. Apple contributes to the FreeBSD project, a bit of BSD is in Windows. And the world is better for it.

If BSD is fighting a battle, its with Linux.

[bobdole57]

@bobdole57

This really exemplifies the difference between the GNU/GPL/Linux people and BSD. For the GNU and Linux people, its all about killing proprietary software, a big philosophical battle not everyone in free software even agrees with whereas BSD is about good software that gets used in as many ways as possible.

gr8! ep1cn3ss, jus7 pur3 3p1cn3ss!

[rswindell]

lots of mistakes in the captions, but overall, very funny

[AppA]

Wow, this must be one of the most easy to comprehend video's concerning BSD.

Kudos!

[Nukeaholic]

so it's basically the mac of free systems... (mac runs on it [outdated] ) nothing bad about it... everything has it's uses (except apple)

[evilunixuser1]

LOL! Tux getting it in the keester! Is there a shirt available with that image? Great to wear at the computer shows.

[pran1zzle]

Tux got analyzed

[24oscar24]

FUCK YEAHH NETHACK!

[daemonpoet]

@24oscar24 Never ID all your stuff until your @ dies!

[313biniar]

Very informative and great presentation!

[johnnyamerika]

Even though I currently use Ubuntu mostly, the last freaking part made me cry I was laughing so hard. Beastie railing him from behind. lol

[d0n7r33dd15]

lol

[ascheepe]

the beginning is amusing and interesting but the euhms and ahhs later on and the hatred against netbsd make it really hard to keep on listening. It makes me think he totally missed the point of why there are different BSD's and why either one is suited better for one job then another set aside any personal preference.

[fuzzyping]

Nothing could be further from the truth. NetBSD just makes an easy target.  I have no problem ripping on FreeBSD for wanting to be Linux, or OpenBSD for being elitist. :)

[petegiant]

@fuzzyping I have no problem ripping on FreeBSD for wanting to be Linux.

Wrong way around sir,

Linux = Unix-like

FreeBSD = Unix

Therefore Linux wants to be like FreeBSD :)

[fuzzyping]

Oh, and the uhms and ahs are just as painful for me to listen to.  I'm very aware of just how bad I sound sometimes. I think my "BSD vs GPL" talk was much more polished, at the expense of some spontaneity.

[13thpersoncomedy]

Interesting..
