    FreeBSD 7/8 are really starting to feel like the decisions made in 5.x are starting the pay off. Between the ULE Scheduler, ZFS filesystem, DTrace (even if not as good as on Solaris) and the new Jails, Its a pretty sweet technology packed release.

    Hopefully we will be upgrading some of the apache.org server soon :)

    Sometime I wish FreeBSD and OpenBSD are more popular than Linux...

    FreeBSD 4.2 was my first copy. I had so much fun tinkering with it. It's still my favorite unix os.

    Great! Just in time for me to build my new ZFS-based file server. =)

    Does FreeBSD have something like Synaptic?

    I'll try to put it on my EEE 900 this weekend (which is running Arch at the moment)
