FreeBSD 5.2 Review

Posted by timothy on from the mostly-good dept.

JigSaw writes "OSNews published a review of FreeBSD 5.2. They found the OS very solid as a server but pretty lacking as a desktop. The author finds FreeBSD very fast overall, easy to configure and that it feels integrated and mature. On the other hand, it has limited modern hardware support, small annoyances at places and that not many binary packages are available and so compilations from ports may take long time."

    OK, so not exactly a dupe because it's a different review from the one last week, but do we really need another front page article?
