    I issued a similar press release shortly after breaking up with my girlfriend!

    PS: FreeBSD rulez!

      Yeah, thanks for the heads-up! I even wrote a test plan and everything. >:)

      Watch out though! System is very unstable and requires frequent reboots.

      And the firewall is useless, you close off ports to untrusted outsiders and after you check the logs, turns out they got in anyway.

      And there's some bug in the console code. You type a command and the system claims it ran, but it turns out it didn't.

      Basically 2.0 is a lot better, and that's what I'm running now. Larger mbufs too. :-)

    Could you possibly come up with a title more likely to feed the "*BSD is Dying/*BSD Sux0rs" trolls?

    Long live the *BSDs!
