And according to this guy, they do not. Nintedo's advertising for the cube has been very low key compared to the other 2 this time around. Furthermore the fact that Nintendo and Sony own their own FABs means they can refine their production process in such a way that the consoles come with a healthy profit margin 2 years or so down the line (you can bet Sony is making a mint on those PSones still being sold for 50 Euros). I doubt Microsoft is capable of convincing NVidia and Intel that it'd be a good idea to combine their 2 xbox chips (exactly what Sony did a few months ago in the PS2).
That's a phallacy. Nintendo and Sony might not actually make a profit on each cube and ps2 they sell but they certainly aren't taking a loss. It's a big difference.

To be honest with you man I think that's more of Belgian thing than anything else. I used to work in an IT shop in Brussels, a mixture of Belgians and ex-pats (mostly Brits). Whenever something was being organised (drinks, meals, paintballing, karting we did it all). It was allways one of the foreigners that organised it. The Belgians would go along and enjoy it but it never seemed to occur to them to organise something themselves.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't apt-get use binaries?
The ports tree also make provisions for upgrading and various options can bet set by editing the make file.
I haven't used apt-get, but I've heard it comapared to the ports tree regualarly.
It's the system of installing the software not the software itself.
Installing a program using the ports tree is as simple as:
#cd/usr/ports/foo/bar
#make install clean
The source is downloaded from one of a list of servers and so are any dependancies. Everything gets compiled and installed and the source code and whatnot is cleaned up afterwards.
It's one of the biggest reasons I love FreeBSD so much.
Noone is talking about eliminating support. They don't have a choice but to carry on providing support & services for the old platforms.
The article talks about eliminating further development of the productlines and switching to one single os for all the *nix based systems.
The only errors I've ever had is the occasional FTP that's full (especially when ftp.freebsd went down).
You can set the various install options and whatnot by editing the makefile (super easy to do as the makefiles are commented with the various options you have)
You really don't need a GUI it's as simple as cd'ing to the application you want in the tree and typing
#make install clean
or a variation thereof
Make downloads and compiles the source+any dependancies
Install installs it (duh)
and clean cleans away the source files and whatever
It's as easy or easier than installing windows software.
It's also very simple to upgrade the ports tree using cvsup
I read a post-E3 interview with the Nintendo frontman, who said the gamecube wouldn't have any online abilities.
He said Nintendo wasn't convinced they could make money out of it.
That and the kernel and userland come together. In FreeBSD the userland is designed around the kernel and vice versa. Unlike a Linux distro such as Mandrake where you get a Linux kernel + a userland built out of various GNU and whatnot software.
As to your comments on X-windows, that's a seperate piece of software to the OS and would look more or less the same on any platform it runs on. (and it runs on a lot more than just Linux and FreeBSD).

That's like saying you can drive your car round built areas at 100 mph simply because you own the thing.

Is it even possible to do an install from CVS? I think it's fairly obvious the original poster was talking about upgrading.
If you already have the previous release up and running I would strongly advise you to read up on CVSup and upgrade that way.
The handbook has all the information you should need and if you're serious about using FreeBSD it's something you need to learn how to do anyway.
I was going on the principle that people who are allready running FreeBSD would know about CVSup and linked to the mirrors for the newbies.

Somebody mod this as funny, nice one ;)
Thanks for that! Gonna tweak my config now!
Binaries are bigger, and some licences don't allow for binary distribution.

I found the link to the original story. I hope they do do it but I'm not getting my hopes up :(
