  1. For some *real* research links... by ulib · · Score: 5, Informative
    Needless to say, the MIT link this mindless GNU/troll's posting is *10 years old* (1994).
    No surprise that Research conducted at Harvard in year *2000* (here's the full text) tells a different story: BSD's Soft Updates technology is on par with journaling on the whole, and in many cases it provides superior performance.

    It's nice to see the GNU fans spreading FUD about BSD (this, and the whole "BSD is dying" campaign). One might wonder what's the difference between GNU and the big and evil corporations they hate so much, since they're using the same dishonest marketing techniques - and spreading FUD is really the most disgusting.

    Luckily, the OS world hasn't been monopolized yet by FUD-spreading corporations and FUD-spreading communists. There still is BSD - and it's here to stay. :)

    Being able to read *other people's* source code is a nice thing, not a 'fundamental freedom'.
