FreeBSD 6.0?

(1/1)

mobrien_12:
Anybody got it?  How is it?  Better than 5?

piratePenguin:
I have it installed. On my old satellite broadband connection FTP transfers would be slow as fuck (half a k a second, and if I'm lucky it won't fuck up before it's finished (which is a long time)), and every second FreeBSD package I went to get would come by FTP, so I wasn't arsed to use it (main reason I wanna try FreeBSD is for their ports and package management, and there's loadsa packages I would've wanted installed but couldn't get).

But, I'm getting ADSL soon (better be here tomorrow, at the latest Thursday), so I cannot wait to get into FreeBSD and setup a decent system.

The big thing in 6.0 I wanted was the nvidia ethernet driver, like the forcedeth driver in Linux. I needed that at the time (but not any more with the wireless network (and yea I checked that my wireless card is supported)).

So I couldn't use FreeBSD without loads of effort for various reasons for the past ages but in the next few days I should be able to, \o/

I've been using it since 6 BETA. I'm now on 6.1 RC0 on my new dual core machine. FreeBSD 6.x is pretty much 5.x with alot of the bugs (I never experienced them myself) fixed. It has much better SMP performance - suposedly comparable to linux 2.6.

 I'm actually working on shoehorning in Linux on a PS2.  With any luck, I'll have another "triggerable" server within the day.
