FreeBSD 4.9 Code Freeze
lewiz writes "FreeBSD Release Engineering have announced that the code freeze in preparation for 4.9-RELEASE (scheduled for 29th September) will begin on 25th August. Also 4.9-RC is tentatively scheduled for 12th September. A full list of dates can be found on the Release Process page."
The SCO is offering licences for the use of 0 and 1 in free bsd, at the low price of $699 per bit, with an increase to $1399 after October 15th.
I'm sure the Linux fanboy base that makes up the core of Slashdot readers are all pleased to hear that another free OS is making progress. I'm sure they will all show up here to show their support as soon as all crusades against Linux and Geekdom in general are brought to an end and Microsoft is destroyed!
:rolleyes:
In the meantime FreeBSD uses will be content to stay out of the limelight while Slashdot fights those terribly important battles.
Slashcode must have eaten my tags.
Tarsnap: Online backups for the truly paranoid
FYI: That document is really the release notes for 4-STABLE, and is a work in progress. I still have a bunch of things to do to get it caught up to reality.
I was wondering, can any of the people who seem to be badmouthing FreeBSD all the time code? If so, have you contributed at least a line of code to making your much beloved Linux better? If so... Wait a minute, I'm talking to myself now.
Seriously though, if you are not contributing in any way, but still think that just being a fan makes you superior to other teams and their fans, you should think about this: the game is not about you, you're just observers and if your team should cease to exist, you wouldn't know what to do with a football to save your life. So put your scarf on, cheer like a good sport, but leave the criticism to those who actually play the game.
