FreeBSD 8.0 Benchmarked Against Linux, OpenSolaris
,----[ Quote ]
| With the stable release of FreeBSD 8.0
| arriving last week we finally were able to
| put it up on the test bench and give it a
| thorough look over with the Phoronix Test
| Suite. We compared the FreeBSD 8.0
| performance between it and the earlier
| FreeBSD 7.2 release along with Fedora 12 and
| Ubuntu 9.10 on the Linux side and then the
| OpenSolaris 2010.02 b127 snapshot on the Sun
| OS side.

DRM Change Continues To Cause Debate
,----[ Quote ]
| Kristian HÃgsberg on the 6th of November had
| wrote a message on the DRI development list
| regarding the libdrm repository. With so much
| of the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) work
| going straight into the Linux kernel --
| thanks in large part to all of the work on
| memory management and kernel mode-setting --
| Kristian proposed that the DRM driver code be
| removed from the separate DRM Git tree. With
| this message, Kristian created a new DRM
| repository that dropped all of the linux-
| core, bsd-core, and shared-core code. Seems
| simple and straightforward, right? Well,
| three weeks later with dozens of replies,
| this change is continuing to cause debate.

A Northwest Nobel option?
,----[ Quote ]
| That list of Linux-related or -inspired
| developments is only partial. Here in the
| Northwest, for example, we could add the
| Free Geek operations in Portland, which do
| a lot of good for not only the low-income
| people and non-profit groups they are
| specifically aimed to help, but also almost
| everyone who comes into contact with them.
| The effects though have been world-wide,
| and are accelerating. And could grow faster
| with a little more attention.

| In hopes of pushing VDPAU beyond just being

| released a standalone VDPAU library back in
| September and have been trying to push some
| VDPAU bits for DRI2.
