Java problem is not FreeBSD's problem, it's the issue from SUN. Java is not free, especially it's implemention source code, although everyone think it is free, but it is not really, it prevents someone from modifying and porting it. Waiting for FreeBSD 5.0, All my wishes is beating Linux, knock its head when released!
one of zero-copy's goal is to improve performance of old program and not force them to be rewritten! sendfile is a possible solution, but many program were not written in a such way, and because sendfile() can only send file like data but not intermediated buffer, it can not represent every thing, improve traditional recv() and send() performance is valuable to do. nice to see this was implemented in NetBSD, anyone consider port it to FreeBSD?
Yes, FreeBSD is the most stable OS I ever used. Yesterday, our company's mail server ( a Redhat Linux ) sunddenly stopped working and crashed, when we power off it and power on again, we found that the system just can not auto recover from crash, it refused continue to mount other filesystemes, we later found that our five ext2 file systems are all corrupted, we must manually repair it, when finished the recover, we found mass file were lost. we also use FreeBSD as our CVS server, in two years, we never found FreeBSD crash, we never lost data even someone imprudencly power off it without shutdown system.
FreeBSD is rock solid, it's true.
Thanks Jordan and other FreeBSD hackers, you are my hero.
if you know how Softupdates works in FreeBSD, you'd know it's safe to run in background, when Softupdates is turned on, the only inconsistent status when system crashed is losted block which not belong to any file, so runs fsck just move them back to be resued.
I would like author to submit this project to FreeBSD, in standard FreeBSD distribution, there isn't a TUI utility to setup firwall, I would like to see it in FreeBSD system.
I want NetBSD's rc system will be merged into FreeBSD before 5.0 released, it's too cool, it will beat some linuxish who pround that their stupid SysV rc system. other things are the COOL KSE thread and file system ACL. yah! too many thing to taste.
your tallback is so weakness, you can not provide
a strong reason that *BSD is dying.
FreeBSD is a very active centralized project,
whole source code from kernel to userland and
package system are under CVS control, this is a
great project, unlike Linux, it is scratched by
some nastly kernel hackers, there is no centralized source repository, no manager,only a kernel source code controlled by Linus, sigh, I suspect why Linux is popular, it must will die
in several years. follow up Linux is a great risk!
Well, if we want to have the "standard" language be "Chinese", you'll first have to decide which one you want.
China has 7 main dialects, according to my Chinese language class teacher. People in Shanghai speak a language that can almost be considered completely different than the one in Beijing. They use the same characters for writing, but use them to mean different things. At the very least, you have Mandarin and Cantonese.
Also, while Chinese is a grammatically simple language (no conjugation, no pluralisation, etc.), it is less fun to write, because there is no alphabet. Yes, there is a different character for every word. Yes, there is a rhyme/reason to the characters, but that doesn't make it all that much less difficult to learn all of them. Oh, and you have to decide whether you want simplified or traditional Chinese characters to be the "standard", too.
Finally, while the population of China is certainly the largest in the world, do they really have the most people _online_? I have no statistics, I'm actually curious.

I am Chinese, Chinese has only one charset,
and everyone can speak in mandarin to interactive
with each other. of course they can also talk in
local native language with same charset with mandarin!
enjoy!

so-called core team is not what you think. It does
not do more than what a committer do.
this seems stupid title, every live in the world is dying, it is always true, not just FreeBSD.
I think the only BSD version will be long live is
OpenBSD, they have better control of source code
and nice utilities and audited code.
Moron, Theo is my hero, I absolutely respect him!
what he is doing is right, r* is toooo dangerous,
openssh can do whatever r* can do!

you forget to prompt file system ACL to enhance traditional UNIX ugo security mode.

do you want to challenge a whole nation?
you must be crazy!

I beleive you will die before *BSD die. you are a troll and maybe a Linux Troll singing song of death for Linux.
