    I was just going to reinstall FreeBSD tonight after work. Perfect timing for a review of the new release.

    Dead OS, indeed.

  2. If you want all that and more on Linux, try Gentoo by tweakt · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    You should take a look at Gentoo. It takes the best concepts from *BSD and applies them to a modern Linux system. In fact it takes them a step further with innovations like USE flags instead of just a single "flavor" for packages.
