Review of FreeBSD 7

,----[ Quote ]
| FreeBSD has come a long way and has created great technical solutions to 
| tough problems. The new scheduler will offer performance gains for years to 
| come. New architectures are being added frequently, including Sun 
| Microsystems Niagra processors, Apple Mac Books (and Mac-mini), and even an 
| initial port to the Xbox platform.    
| 
| The future is bright for FreeBSD and I’m certainly looking forward to the 
| pending 7.0 release and beyond. The 7.1 release will see the ULE scheduler 
| enabled by default and should also see the inclusion of the new installer 
| into the mainstream releases. The multi-processor scalability will continue 
| with the next goal of linear scalability on sixteen cores. There are now more 
| than seventeen thousand ports and, with the new and improved performance, 
| FreeBSD makes a formidable desktop and server operating system.

In Open Source We Trust

| Today’s post though is disturbing. In A Question of Trust, he discusses a 
| certain competitor, Cittio, is possibly not honoring the GPL and not 
| disclosing to clients that they’re actually deploying a solution based on 
| OpenNMS.   
| 
| [...]
| 
| This is the sort of thing that the community-at-large deserves to know, hence 
| the reason I’m posting this. It deserves our attention and I hope it is 
| resolved quickly. The GPL is not a license to rip people off, and you guys 
| deserve your just credit and recognition for your hard work and donations.

Just a reminder of the 'protection' BSD won't give developers.

First look at FreeBSD 7.0

,----[ Quote ]
| So would FreeBSD 7.0 make a decent desktop system? I haven't run it long 
| enough to be able to answer the question, but from my initial testing I would 
| be perfectly happy to give it a more intensive try. It certainly looks like a 
| nicely crafted system, with extreme attention to detail - at least when it 
| comes to the kernel and userland.

Faster Performance, Fewer Machines For FreeBSD?

| "FreeBSD has the ability to run Linux programs without recompilation," Lucas 
| explained. "For example, I use Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux on my FreeBSD 
| laptop. It works flawlessly."

What's New in FreeBSD 7.0

,----[ Quote ]
| Federico Biancuzzi interviewed two dozen developers to discuss all the cool 
| details of FreeBSD 7.0: networking and SMP performance, SCTP support, the new 
| IPSEC stack, virtualization, monitoring frameworks, ports, storage limits and 
| a new journaling facility, what changed in the accounting file format, 
| jemalloc(), ULE, and more.
