I didn't ask about NeXT, I asked about NetBSD. Surely if it ran 90% of the web, you can name a single website that was served by it. Like, I honestly can't tell if this is some kind of bizarre troll. People keep asking you for sources for your incredible claims, and you just keep making them without a single reference. Where are you getting this 30M number? This 90% number? Here's another source: Red Hat IPO'd in 1999 on the back of a Linux operating system, per Wikipedia, "achieving—at the time—the eighth-biggest first-day gain in the history of Wall Street". Pretty amazing for something that was "barely a curiosity, a hobby". Here's Netcraft in 2003, claiming a mere 2M sites running FreeBSD and describing it as a blip compared to Linux and Windows. > Although nearly all of the public focus is geared around advocacy of Linux and Windows, there is a third Intel based operating system, which generates a tiny fraction of the publicity surrounding these operating systems, and has a much smaller user and developer community. https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/07/12/nearly_2_million_active_sites_running_freebsd.html https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/07/12/nearly_2_milli... Notably they don't even mention NetBSD. In fact, Netcraft barely ever mentions NetBSD. I get _two_ hits on their entire site for it. Pretty big oversight for something running 90% of the web! Here's a FAQ from 2001 from a commercial BSD company describing FreeBSD as "the most popular open source version of the BSD OS". Weird how, according to you, NetBSD was running 90% of the web up until 2006 but in 2001 FreeBSD was even more popular than it! I mean, I could go on and on. It's frustrating that I can't find any clear cut OS usage stats from that era, but everything points to Linux being a major player by the early 2000s. For example, Java - which was a very big deal at the time - never really supported BSDs, but supported Linux. https://coderanch.com/t/110571/os/Java-NetBsd https://coderanch.com/t/110571/os/Java-NetBsd You had to buy Netcraft's more detailed analysis, but in 2003 based on their previews it's clear they split the world up into "Linux", "Microsoft", "Other", "Solaris", and "Unknown". In the screenshot they show of one DNS owner, Linux was roughly 30% of servers, Microsoft was roughly 50%. Wild how BSD doesn't appear there at all! https://web.archive.org/web/20030425195510/http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/04/14/netcraft_hosting_provider_server_count_available.html https://web.archive.org/web/20030425195510/http://news.netcr... But why am I wasting my time providing these sources? I gave a bunch already, you ignored them and just kept making the same baseless claims about NetBSD's completely undocumented hegemony over the web that collapsed instantaneously. "Rewriting history" indeed!
