I can tell you that *BSD is alive and well, and if anything is thriving
in the network, data centre, and hosting environments. A search of the

I'm sure you meant to write ``bake-only sliced bread'' here!

It's the poor man's Apple, without all the caveats, controls and gotchas,
but with a complete toolbox and manual.
You can run it on anything that will run a WinDos (and then some), and you
will get more reliability with b

I'd venture that your professor isn't particularly well-educated if he
thinks BSD is dead or dying from either a commercial or a pedagogical
perspective. A considerable amount of literature on the subject of
networking is written using the BSD codebase as reference (e.g. the

Thank you all for the replies.
I might do a lecture on my own, presenting OpenBSD.
If I where to do that it, as a subsection, would be cool to give references
to other institutions that are using OpenBSD and why they are using it.
Why one would use OpenBSD, over eg. GNU/Linux.
Now I would site p

Juniper routers. oh, yeah, before you ask the prof that question you

"Bsd" is used in quite a lot of things. Think netapps appliances
which run bsd. Think windows (2000 at least) which took the tcp stack
from freebsd. There are a lot of such "appliances". Even cisco's ios
owes its roots to bsd, iirc - at the very core of it, it has some form
