I'm with you man! That's over 10% of the current national debt ceiling! Yet, I you and I still have co-workers that continue to claim that BSD is a= toy and indeed irrelevant; even when faced with CARP, HAST, Jails, ZFS, an= d other great features that don't exist on any other operating system. I say to Mr. Poettering and our similarly-hethenistic brethren that: Just because BSD isn't relevant to you, surely you are irrelevant to BSD. ...and... Don't you worry your pretty little head about the nasty (and totally irrele= vant) BSD [[tounge in cheek]]. That beastie won't bother you any more ** un= til it's time to overtake your market share (muahaha). --=20 Devin >=20 >=20 >=20 > On 07/17/2011 04:10, Jerry wrote: > > While I usually consider Slashdot nothing more than a bunch of > > juveniles ranting against Microsoft; however, I did find this rather > > interesting post this morning. > > > > "Lennart Poettering: BSD Isn't Relevant Anymore" > > > > <http://bsd.slashdot.org/story/11/07/16/0020243/Lennart-Poettering-BSD > > -Isnt-Relevant-Anymore> > > > > Interestingly enough, a great deal of it is true.
