Bordeaux 1.6 For FreeBSD and PC-BSD Released
Tom Wickline writes "Steven Edwards of the Bordeaux Technology Group released Bordeaux 1.6 for FreeBSD and PC-BSD today. Bordeaux 1.6 comes with added support for Google's Chrome Web Browser, Google Earth, and Google Picasa. In addition, Cellar support has improved; you can now delete and install into an existing Cellar. There have also been many small bug fixes and tweaks on the backend to improve the speed and reliability of all the supported applications."
It is with great sadness that I bring you this news: *BSD is dead.
It was at 4:25am early on the morning of December 30th 2008 that, after many failed attempts to resuscitate the dying OS, *BSD finally passed away. While *BSD has been in it's death throes for many months now and it's death has been foreseen for many years, this is still a very sad moment; a great loss for OS dilettante dabblers and *BSD lovers the world over.
Though *BSD has passed away, it will surely be fondly remembered for years to come by users, developers, and trolls alike. Even if you didn't enjoy using *BSD, there's no denying it's contributions to popular OS culture. Truly a Berkeley icon. It will be missed :(
Seems every time a company chooses to support FreeBSD, Linux fanboys come to /. to diss it. Linux fanboys are usually freeloaders, academics, or religious zealots of the Church of Stallman.
It's very good that there are companies developing for FreeBSD.
We need to have a software ecosystem from small software houses and I feel this will never happen with linux due to the GPL.
Main difference between the BSD license and the GPL license: one is from California and the other is from Massachusetts
