If you haven't had a chance to try it, you really should. It is still faster and more robust that[sic] linux for certain things (after all, it's based on code that is more than 15 years old, and that also has been reviewed and improved by thousands of people). Linux still has a lot to learn from Freebsd, and this includes the efficiency of their team (compare a core team that uses CVS vs Linus who does all commits via text patch through pine editor, and that this medium has a variable high drop rate). Let's hope bitmover fixes some of those issues." Now all we have to do is convince the rest of the world. :-) Also this quote from JKH: "...FreeBSD, based on 15y+ old code written by a bunch of people is certainly as sexy as Linux, which was written from scratch, originally by one guy."
