FreeBSD 5.1 Review and BSD Roundup

Posted by timothy on from the large-lasso dept.

securitas writes "Both eWEEK's review of FreeBSD 5.1 and ExtremeTech's BSD overview and roundup (single page) will be of interest to BSDers and anyone else who wants to explore their open source OS options. The review of FreeBSD 5.1 says it lacks the stability of v4.8 but adds features that some may find useful (for example, more processor architectures are supported) so it shouldn't be considered for critical deployments yet. And the BSD round-up speaks for itself."

    Proof that BSD is alive and kicking despite the recurring claim that it is dead.

    No dead program comes out in new releases.

    Ha!

    *BSD is dead.

    Fact: *BSD is dying

    Make your mind up, mate. It can't be both 'dead' and 'dying'.
