I’ve been a long time fan of FreeBSD, going all the way back to the 1.1.5.1 days (and used regular BSD going back even further). Today, I still have a server which runs FreeBSD, as well as another desktop which is running Ubuntu. Which one I prefer is not really something I choose to argue (or even spend much time thinking about) but I did notice that FreeBSD 8.0 was just released.
Thanks for the post on this. I haven’t touched BSD in years, though I always liked its very clean and straightforward way of doing things, especially when Linux was trying to be everything to everyone and be a Windows killer rather than just a good Unix OS.
I’m downloading a live boot CD ISO right now; I’m curious what BSD looks like these days.
