Originally posted by Pawlerson View PostNo, you didn't. Net market share shows it has zero market share. When comes to servers I didn't find any site that shows BSD has more than zero market share.
Explain then why 4chan uses FreeBSD, and why Netflix uses FreeBSD, yet somehow no servers run it?

If it has 0,001% of desktop market share it is shown as 0% at netmarketshare.com. When comes to servers the situation is better, that's for sure. However there's no source which would shown how much market share BSD has in this area. There's netcraft, but it seems it counts some Linux distributions as Unix. Furthermore, there's more Unix than BSD itself, so it makes it even harder to count. Even if it has some significant share in this market when we add desktops and mobiles into comparison numbers will still be oscillating around zero. There are millions of devices running Linux kernel. Sergio claimed BSD runs in iOS and OS X which is simply untrue, because they're not running BSD kernel and I mean kernel from BSD distributions. Its license doesn't matter in this case.
You've gotten so caught up in the figures you aren't looking at the actual application of the OS.
But it's okay, most idiots make the same mistake.

Even if there was only one FreeBSD server, their market share would not literally be at 0% because it still exists. And market share doesn't matter overly much when you can advertise that your OS runs on systems that experience heavy traffic and handle it well, like 4Chan and Netflix.
