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."

    Truly the UNIX on steroids, has had a pioneering role in the evolution of the *nix operating systems.

    Sad indeed that such a good system is dying.
