    Why do all comments that aren't flattering of BSD get moderated as "troll"? I have used FreeBSD for several months, I've read the handbook. I have also used various Linux distributions for years (but mostly Debian).

    You can stifle free speech all you want, but you won't change my opinion that FreeBSD simply isn't anywhere as good as Debian in terms of reliability, ease-of-use and maintenance and user community. And I'm not saying this because I used Debian for very long - I gave FreeBSD a try at about the same time as Debian. I'm not saying this because I'm a GPL bigot either - my opinion is purely technical.

    Both of those approaches are a perfectly good way to do things. All that matters is how fast the user's applications run in the end.

    Yes, the fact that Intel's approach will melt your heatsink means nothing at all, and should be completely disregarded.
