I upgraded my OS as well as xine and I agree -- it is much
improved. I theorize that I could watch "Three Kings" or "Dr
Strangelove [...]" very comfortably if I spooled them to my HD first.
In fact, in full-screen, top would report a load average between 0.25
and 1.0 and an idleness of about %40. With a brilliant picture and
clear sound with no delay, I'd be very impressed. (details follow)
At the risk of sounding fervently aligned, my machine also has
USB Ethernet and ADSL. I would say that FBSD is a very nice consumer
OS. If only we could end this nonsense of speaking in tongues and
fumbling around in the dark for fear of prosecution (persecution?).

OS: Binaries and kernel source are from
ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/5.0-20010125-CURRENT/
kernel: a custom compile based on GENERIC with SMP, Netgraph, USER_LDT and
ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA and less INET6, gif, faith, NICs, msdos, nfs,
cd9660
-the GENERIC kernel now contains sounds by default!
-I have to keep PNP OS -> NO in my bios or else no sound

userconfig_script_load="YES"
ng_pppoe_load="YES"

- usb ethernet doesn't seem to like to be a modules at the moment, hence I
leave it static in the kernel
