I have always loved open source projects.. this has a unique opportunity of researching on your own and learning what others have done on the research.. like simple scalar tool available on University of Texas austin that allows you to research on microprocessor design I consider this one is a nice research tool in OS. Crossing my fingers for this release.

notice how all the moronic posts saying BSD is dead come from anonymous posters, in other words people who don't have a pair and don't have any real arguement. take a look at netcraft you bozos and see if bsd is dieing. I use bsd, it's got a much more coherent design then linux and it's documentation is much much better. It's multimedia isn't quiet as good as linux yet but that hasn't been as much of a focus as for linux. In short if you think BSD is old hat and dieing your an idiot, nuff said.
