FreeBSD XP^H^H 4.5 available now

Posted by Nik on from the this-time,-with-feeling dept.

The_Rift was one of many who wrote in with this news: "The official mail has gone out to the FreeBSD-announce mailing list announcing the availability of Freebsd 4.5. Check your local mirrors for the ISOs.". The release notes have all the details, but take it from me -- this one is worth it just for the TCP/IP performance improvements by Matt Dillon and others. Kudos to Murray, Bruce, and the rest of the release engineering team.

    Well, what the hell do expect from an obsolete, ancient code base which is developed in a closed fashion? FreeBSD is *irrelevant*, my friend. Hell, FreeBSD doesn't even support SMP, for Christ's Sake! My *god*, man.

    (Yeah, it "supports" SMP. As in, when one CPU is running, the other is locked idle. And vice-versa. I hear their "AMP" support is pretty bad-ass though. )

    If you humped over retards want to keep using FreeBSD instead of a real OS, by all means go jerk over all over yourselves at how "l337" you are for using it.

    Losers.

    There's no escaping the simple truth: FreeBSD is a failure.

    Ahh man. I got mod'd down as a troll for agreeing with the fella that said you'd be around. Keep up the good work! A FreeBSD article just isn't a FreeBSD article without the "FreeBSD is Dead" guy.
