FreeBSD 5.3 RC2 Released
ValiantSoul writes "FreeBSD 5.3 Release Candidate 2 was just released. This new RC includes an updated network stack that fixes a bug where the system stops responding when under severe network load, the complete disabling of the ULE scheduler due to instability, and other fixes. Originally the FreeBSD team decided not to release a RC 2 however the fixes in the latest CURRENT were important enough to do so. As long as there are no severe problems with RC 2, this will be the last test release until a final one. See the full announcement on the mailing lists."
Who fucking cares?
I've just signed legislation that'll outlaw Russia forever. We'll begin bombing in five minutes.
Update the floppy disk driver resource layout.
!!!
I have two questions:
You mean I just made a coaster and a frisbie? I just downloaded RC1 last week and burned them onto two CDs. Now I have to wait for 5.3 to come out before I burn two more CDs. By the way, does anyone want two used CD-Rs?
I don't like it when they tell me that RC1 is most likely the final release candidate and then release another release candidate. I might just stick to 4.10 for the near, and possibly distant, future as I have heard of some performance slowdowns in the 5 branch when compared to the 4 branch on single processor machines.
it doesnt have a linux kernel does it?
HawkinsOS has a fully functional ULE scheduler.
Perhaps switch everything from the Linux kernel to FreeBSD and avoid current SCO/future ? worries. And better integration with Apple.
Look, I too suffered from the same halitosis, foot odor, kronik badd speehlin, and social ineptitude as T.J. Hawkins.....then I read THIS!!! It changed my life, and for only $132/year it can change yours, too! How, you ask? None of your business, asshole, 'cause that's proprietary - just like all of the Really Big & Important Software Projects. Read on.....
Look, I've been doing consulting work for nearly 15 years. About the site, I had to put up an old copy because after that thread several FreeBSD members broke into my network and nearly deleted everything. I'm 75% sure that it's the work of Dag-Erling and his friends, as most of the packets and exploit attempts (until they succeded) were coming from Norway and Denmark.
I've sold 2,000 copies and made money off *my* work. How many copies has the FreeBSD foundation sold? Oh, that's what I thought, becuase 5.3 is not usable in a production environment, not without my patches. And guess what, they won't be getting my patches unless I see public apology from DES and PHK.
