Gentoo There have been many articles as of late about the so called "source" distributions of Linux. Articles about "rpm hell" and how to get out of it. While I have been using Red Rat since the first release (and do have some things for and against it) there is no distribution that will please all of the people all of the time. Then again, that is what makes an OS like Linux nice, in my opinion. Choices. Today, Gentoo Linux is my choice.

Eugenia: Linux vs *BSD (esp FreeBSD)
by emey on Thu 18th Jul 2002 04:14 UTC

I think you should put more articles about *BSD especially FreeBSD on OSNews so that their zealot can post their comments. If you look at statistic, very few articles on FreeBSD posted here compared to Linux distribution. Maybe this is why FreeBSD zealot getting piss off and start flaming in most of the articles related to Linux.

Here what I got from OSNews statistic starting Jun 2002 until now:
FreeBSD 4.6.1 and CURRENT DP2 Scheduled for Release in July (2 comments)
FreeBSD 4.6 (Officially) Released (36 comments)
FreeBSD 4.6 (Unofficially) Released (50 comments)
New FreeBSD IPFW Beta Code Available (3 comments)


PS: Maybe we can fake the comment so that it look like many responded to the FreeBSD articles. DO YOU GET MY SACASTIC MESSAGE? ---Just want to know weather FreeBSD user will flae me because of this.
