FreeBSD 11.0 Released (freebsdfoundation.org)

Long-time Slashdot reader basscomm writes, "After a couple of delays, FreeBSD 11 has been released. Check out the release notes here." The FreeBSD Foundation writes: The latest release continues to pioneer the field of copyfree-licensed, open source operating systems by including new architecture support, performance improvements, toolchain enhancements and support for contemporary wireless chipsets. The new features and improvements bring about an even more robust operating system that both companies and end users alike benefit greatly from using.
FreeBSD 11 supports both the ARMv8 and RISC-V architectures, and also supports the 802.11n wireless networking standard. In addition, OpenSSH has been updated to 7.2p2, and OpenSSH DSA key generation has been disabled by default, so "It is important to update OpenSSH keys prior to upgrading."

...You're surprised that a dead OS... At peak times, Netflix generates over 35% of all the traffic on the US portion of the Internet. Guess what "dead" OS powers the servers that create all that traffic?

The systemd developers have better things to do than support a dead OS.

Like killing a live one?

You know GNU/Linux is jumping the shark when THE major distro didn't take the time to research how to properly go from one LTS to the current one that has systemd and it clobbers the systemd related things. And Debian, that used to the the best engineered distro, just puts in needless circle-jerking complexity, even the /etc/motd is dynamically generated and the twats made the wrong choice of having a static /etc/motd.tail instead of the obvious solution of motd being static as per normal Unix convention and a motd.head to be generated. GNU/LInux is circling the drain
