Slashdot Mirror

5.x's performance (specially on UP systems) is horrible. I woulnd't use 5.x on any low end system (try using 5 on a sub 400MHz box and you'll see what I mean). They chose a very complex SMP model (a gazillion of mutexes) that scales very well but is very slow on UP machines.

FreeBSD used to be about doing things right, now they've resorted to poor hacks like the PREEMPTION kernel option to try to achieve a portion of RELENG_4's speed. Sorry, it doesn't cut it.

However, you might be interested in my project, HawkinsOS, which solves all these problems and adds some new features, like proper usb 2.0 support.

There are two ways to 'fix' that. Since jhb@ and friends are never going to admit using the wrong model for SMP you can:

• Install DragonFlyBSD
• Wait for the HawkinsOS patches to be merged into FreeBSD's codebase. Hawkins said he will release the patchset as soon as phk@ and des@ apologize in a public list for the way they've treated him.

You're right. As I pointed out some time ago, my OS does indeed respect the (C) notices. All I got when I pointed out the abysmal SMP support in FreeBSD 5.3 was a lot of flamage. I've sold nearly 2,000 copies of my beta system so far, and was planning to give back the enhancements to the FreeBSD team. I won't, at least not until they remove assholes like Scott Long and DES from the team. phk? Who cares, he's the most annoying SOB I've ever seen.

I usually don't reply to trolls, but this one is soo funny, I can't resist. I just want to say that I noticed that your list of assholes is expanding: now you added Scott Long as well (and the doc people for God's sake!!!). As ulib noted, you'll have almost all FreeBSD developers leave FreeBSD development for your 'enhachments.

To add more fun to what ulib noted: did you spell-check the announcments on your site? I mean, how should anyone take you and your 'enhachments' seriously if you can't check your own site for errors. Not being English is not an excuse in this case (what, you don't have the resource to get one man proof read it for you?). You are way out of touch with reality my friend. And to think that you probably made your threats with a straight face, and to think that you are trolling on slashdot... what would your customers say?

Haha, maybe there is a connection between your "Nigerian royal family member" style and the fact that you are selling FreeBSD renamed to HawkinsOS for 138$! Oh, it is only 1000$ if you buy 8 packages! YESSS, that's really the best deal if I ever heard one. You are one little entertaining troll. And this, in your about HawkinsOS box on your website:

About

HawkinsOS is being developed by T.J.HAWKINS. It relies heavily on the FreeBSD Foundation. More information will become available soon.

Yes, I'm sure the FreeBSD Foundation is glad to hear that they are writing FreeBSD. And I'm sure DES and PHK are really eager to get your 'enhachments'. Some more entertainment:

Well, you get the picture. Everything will be availabe if you deposit some money there after june 15 2004. :))))))
