New Performance Mailing List for FreeBSD

Posted by Hemos on from the we-can-make-it-better-faster-stronger dept.

An anonymous reader writes "FreeBSD's fast as is, but it appears that folks over there are going the extra mile to make sure that it continues to be the top dog according to this recent announcement. With 5.1 promising to have native threads and 5.1 only a few months out, it is really good to see performance being taken seriously."

    If they could only make patching easier, so everytime a bind, sendmail, or other hack is discovered, one doesnt have to;
    cvsup the source tree
    rebuild the system
    rebuild the kernel
    boot single user
    install new kernel
    install new system components
    mergemaster
    reboot again.

    This is a royal f***in pita, up2date looks sinfully easy compared to this.
