  1. SMP by NWT · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Finally FreeBSD works fine with multiprocessor systems, the autor had no problems with his 2 Athlon MPs, that's really great. Finally, you can have a really powerful smp - FreeBSD server system for not too much money! The installation was completed with only one cpu, but a new kernel with the options SMP and APIC_IO enable both cpus.

  2. I will give everybody certificates. by Corpset · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is, if they send me free hardware. I don't mean to sound mean, but isn't it something fishy about that "review"?

    Hell, if I could get something for free that thing alone would be a bonus in my review. Free stuff is good stuff. Even if it's bad, it's still good just because it was free. And now it's certified.
