I read the article... and it says that the largest single source of code when it was written was FreeBSD. 21MM lines out of 39MM overall. Now since then they've released a lot of new features and what-not so I doubt it still holds at 53.8% but I would bet it is still the single largest source of code. Does it matter? No. Thank you. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
