  1. That FreeBSD 5.4 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    It certainly is 0.1 more than FreeBSD 5.3

  2. Review Formula by CableModemSniper · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here is the formula for the review of incemental updates to Unix-alike OSes.

    1) Describe the OS, being sure to mention its Unix origins. If the OS is not Linux-based, mention Linux.

    2) Comment on the weird piece of hardware by brand name in your box that made it crash

    3) List the new and improved features in the kernel and the daemons. (Note: security patches are feautures too)

    4) Base everything else on how easy it was to install.
