A Very Early Look At OpenSolaris 2010.02

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenSolaris 2009.06 was released earlier this year, but unlike in years 
| past and contrary to their original six month release cycle, there will not 
| be another OpenSolaris distribution release in 2009. Instead, the next 
| slated release is OpenSolaris 2010.02, which should be out in early 
| February of next year. It is far too early to speculate everything that 
| this next Sun operating system will have in store, but we do have some 
| screenshots off a recent SXCE build and other details.

DesktopBSD 1.7

,----[ Quote ]
| Price: 	Free
| Pros: 	Great selection of software, very easy install.
| Cons: 	This, apparently, is the last release of DesktopBSD. The 
| developer is retiring. Note also that it uses an older version of KDE 
| (3.5) not the latest version (4.3). Package manager did not start so I 
| could not update my system or add more software.
| Suitable For: 	Intermediate and advanced users.
| Summary: 	Great selection of bundled software and an easy install. A 
| potential alternative to the usual array of desktop Linux distros. 
| Package manager bug needs to be fixed ASAP though.
| Rating: 	3/5

FreeBSD 8 Getting New Routing Architecture

,----[ Quote ]
| Though the open source FreeBSD operating system has changed in many aspects
| over the last 16 years of its life, one item that has remained relatively
| static is its underlying network routing architecture.

FreeBSD 7.1 released

,----[ Quote ]
| The FreeBSD project have released FreeBSD 7.1, an update to the FreeBSD 7
| series of stable releases. Among the highlights of the release is support for
| DTrace inside the kernel, which has been imported from OpenSolaris. DTrace is
| a powerful tracing framework that allows developers and administrators to
| monitor the performance of a running operating system to a very fine level of
| detail.
