Takes until May 2002 to support larger than 10gig hard drives, sorry.

Compared to OS X

How does this compare to the Darwin Mach kernel?

"The site www.stallman.org is running Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) on FreeBSD."

I think you mean GNU/FreeBSD, don't you?

Quoth RMS:
"Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is more often known as ``FreeBSD'', and many users are not aware of the extent of its connection with the GNU Project.

"There really is a FreeBSD; it is a kernel, and these people are using it. But you can't use a kernel by itself; a kernel is useful only as part of a whole operating system. FreeBSD is normally used in a combination with the GNU operating system: the system is basically GNU, with FreeBSD functioning as the kernel.

"Many users are not fully aware of the distinction between the kernel, which is FreeBSD, and the whole system, which they also call ``FreeBSD''. The ambiguous use of the name doesn't promote understanding.

Mr. Hanky, the RMS-Poo,
He loves me, and I love GNU.
