FreeBSD 5.2.1 On SPARC64

Posted by timothy on from the lacks-clippy dept.

JigSaw writes "FreeBSD has a solid reputation in terms of features and performance on x86, powering sites from Hotmail to Yahoo, yet it doesn't tend to be the first (or even second) OS that comes to mind with many people when thinking of Solaris alternatives for the SPARC platform. Tony Bourke tests FreeBSD 5.2.1 on his SPARC machine."

    I will soon start collecting
    signatures for a petition to
    cut the BSD trolls off slashdot.
    Permanently.

    The "BSD" section of slashdot should
    be disabled, because this isn't a real
    topic anymore.
