So something is good until someone starts trying to recoup the costs of their investments? Come on folks, get real. Codec development is costly, in addition, so is having it downloaded by millions. Perhaps if more people were willing to give back to projects they wouldn't be forced to do such.
By far the most annoying part of Linux is the rabid evangelistic pricks who try to shove this piece of shit OS down everyone's throats. I've used it, I continue to use it against my will because I'm required to. I don't force my OS choice on you, so shut the hell up.
And in the office it's easy to create a bogus TCO report. We've seen several prime examples of that here. It's easy to trick bosses into thinking it will actually be cheaper just because you don't have to pay a licensing fee.
Of course I'm assuming that we're talking about free software, not just necessarilly open source.
If it's such a failure why is the mono project and dotgnu (or whatever they're currently called) franticly trying to implement a full.NET platform using OSS technology? It takes something cool for the OSS community to really embrace something like this from MS. I think calling this a failure is really turning a blind eye to the whole situation.

That's definitely the feeling I got when reviewing their document on the new OO stuff and the Zend2 engine.
The main advantages to the 5.0 series will be better threading and SMP support. Additionally it uses GCC 3.2.2 and the 5.2 release will more than likely see GCC 3.3.x. It is larger, it is slower in some things. There's really no advantage to moving small firewallish boxes to 5, especially if you're already using ipfw2. If you do, I'd suggest waiting until 5 goes stable, probably with 5.2 release. Also, 4.9 will be coming out soon, six months or so and this will probably be the last release of the 4 series but will remain supported more than likely for up to a year after release.
I'm missing how this somehow has a downside to it. I fail to see the problem, well, maybe that we'll be flooded with stinky RMS knockoffs who like to shove their views down everyone else's throats... that would suck. I guess I prefer Linux be around to keep those types away from FreeBSD.
Completely agree. Only freedom GPL provides is mostly the freedom to kiss RMS's ass everytime another app is released under this incredibly viral licensing scheme.
5.2 is due to have 3.3.something. 5.1 will still use 3.2.2.
Support for i386 was removed in order to reduce bloat of boot media and gain the advantage of a very useful instruction introduced in Intel's 486 chip. cmpchg or somesuch, feel free to search the mailing list archives if you're interested, the thread went on for a good month or more.
You can of course rebuild everything on your own and have it run on a 386, but personally I feel most anything prior to PentiumII is wasting more electricity than it's worth. Only places you'll find this is in embedded systems, and they're not directly supported by FreeBSD.
I use FreeBSD instead of Linux mainly because its userbase isn't hell bent on destroying MS. We have far more productive things to do with our time. I think it shows with each and every release.

News flash... it was some silly linux rag that wrote this article. Expect silly enraged comments. These people are out for world domination.
I use Windows and FreeBSD.

It's hosted on SourceForge. SourceForge does fairly well. Besides, it's only 2MB
I've been running the 5000 series builds lately and they're considerably faster and more efficient. Hope everyone has a good experience freeneting.

Does this version of the document cover the revolutionary new 2.2.x version of the kernel?
Hoorah for worthless and frequently contradictory documentation! LDP rocks...
Come on Sun. Wake up, you're looking like SCO. Hey, so is your stock!
Parents are to blame here. That's pretty much all there is to it.

Nothing you've said makes me think you've ever touched FreeBSD. Can you explain what your problem was rather than whacking off about Linux?
You have earned my greatest contempt. People like you are the reason horrible things like this happen.

Wow, what a massive heap of worthless electricity use. Turn all that crap off, you're not impressing anyone.

Hey, we've got a connection to the new fangled Interweb too! Can IRC while in class too, which is of utmost importance...
I don't like UoP because those commies spam people. I wouldn't consider them just on this alone.
