FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE
Triumph The Insult C writes "FreeBSD 4.7 is out. Here is the announcement. New items include an option for IPFW2, a number of disk controller updates, security updates, and some changes to userland. Remember, please use a mirror." Among other things, the release announcement says: "FreeBSD 4.7 also incorporates all of the security and bug fixes from
4.6.2 (released in August 2002), including several ATA-related
bugfixes, updates for OpenSSL and OpenSSH, and fixes to address
several security advisories." And here are the release notes.
I've been waiting for an upgrade.

nice(1) now uses the -n option to specify the ``niceness'' of the utility being run.
Doesn't that just sound like a happy command?
Who is John Galt?
That is, I suspect, a little like thinking that it might be nice to affix Pamela Anderson's knockers to Natalie Portman's front side.
Nice idea, in other words, but perhaps not something modern medicine is up to just yet.
Blearf. Blearf, I say.
Yeah! Imagine if some wackos came out with other versions of BSD, they might name them openBSD, NetBSD, NotLinuxBSD, OS X, etc.
Good thing there's just one BSD. Imagine if they followed Linux's bad example!
I get lots of free BSD's already with Windows
so why is the article called "Free BSD"?
cha ching! Tasteless humor!

Blasphemy. This outrage will not go unanswered. Have you no concept of balance, symmetry, proportion, applied aesthetics, and physical/spiritual curvature??
Check out SourceMage... It also has a nifty theme to it, Magic. You "cast"(install) "spells"(programs) and it downloads the source and compiles and installs it, and creates logs of all that happens. You can "dispel"(uninstall) it. you can "gaze" into the "grimoire"(list of spells).
Look, I know we're talking about compiling kernels and whatnot, so none of us is exactly the most popular kid in school, if you know what I mean. But this is just embarrassing. I mean, there's such a thing as taking role playing games too far, you know?
This is incredibly geeky, even by my standards.
I write in my journal
"Your husband is somewhat dead."
"Sir -- I got your daughter somewhat pregnant."
I think you should reconsider your definition of "stable" somewhat.
Tempers get short when people are so beleagered by crippling bombshells. I can't even stand the thought of what the latest Netcraft results are going to say.
..a single 'make buildworld'...
/bin, /sbin /etc and all the rest?
/me ducks
How does that differ from a single 'make bzImage' in Linux?
If you have to ask, you have obviously missed the point. "make buildworld" will compile userland. You know, all the stuff in
Whereas a "make bzImage" will compile a kernel. Whoop. This is "make buildkernel" in FreeBSD.
[troll]The Linux equivalent of "make buildworld" is "make my mummy buy me a new distro CD"[/troll]

The dark side of the force is strong in this one. Much anger that we can use to turn him...
FreeBSD for the impatient.
Linux ... can be considered somewhat stable.
There's your answer right there. Some people like to run with scissors in their hands, others like to laugh at those who do.
Trollin' trollin' trollin'...
