Therefore, you can mix BSD and GPL code, since BSD code can always be changed to GPL if someone wanted (hence it is GPL-compatible)
Please read a BSD license and tell me where it says you can change the license without permission of the author(s). Hint: it doesn't, and it's time this misnomer was put to rest.
5 minutes!? Damn! My best is about 8 minutes, maybe I need a faster CDROM. I guess I don't get much practice, afterall why would you need to reinstall;)
As the previous poster said Ports are source based, but both are one and the same. Packages are precompiled Ports. You can make your own Packages by typing 'make package' in the Port directory, which will build and install the Port and then tar/bzip it into a redistributable binary Package.
Not at all. If you have ever worked in a PC shop you would know there were just as many grannies asking about how t0 blah blah such and such in windows too.
Not to mention any improvements that FreeBSD developers make on top of that can be feed back into Darwin, and so it goes on. And noone has stolen any code:P
Please read the BSD license and learn something about copyright law before spreading this crap further. Nowhere in the license does it say you can relicense BSD code and under common copyright law you cannot do that anyway.
What Stallman said was BSD licensed code (or other code under a free license) distributed with GPL code should be *distributed* under the terms of the GPL, not relicensed (which legally is just wrong).
I like it for its quality and have no interest in switching to another OS for estoric geek value or whatever. I think most serious FreeBSD users are the same.
While I realize that I could simply attach the GPL to every piece of source code in the BSD CVS tree and redistibute it...
No you can't. Have you bothered to read a BSD license or anything about copyright law? You must retain the license on a redistributed source or binary file and only the copyright holder has the right to alter that license. The BSD license is a free license but it is not public domain.

Hmmm, 3 insightful: man says does not need printer.
Or learn some sensible backup options.
You want to create an mfs /tmp from /etc/fstab?
md /tmp mfs rw,-s256M 2 0
It was changed from 4.x but is still there, man (8) mdmfs
Jealousy :)

Not done != not stable

Never downloaded an ISO before? You haven't lived! A mini-iso doesn't take toooo long (overnight resumable sessions).
Bullshit.
Go read a BSD license and tell me where it says you are allowed to change the license.
see man 7 hier
It's relevance to FreeBSD seems minor, however, I counted four capitalised "gnu"s. Is this some sort of subliminal gnucampaign?
And destroy the portability of the system to other archs while you are at it...

Unless the priests are all Irish Catholic priests. We know what a bunch of drunks they are.
It gets worse... His mum was on some IBM board according to the Cringley book neatly packed away in a box somewhere.
