FreeBSD 8.0 installation walk-through
,----[ Quote ]
| Unfortunately, FreeBSD is a great operating
| system with an unholy awful installer â
| compared to other operating system installers
| currently available. Some people are
| comfortable with text-mode installers, some
| arenât.
|
| They are nothing to be afraid of if you have
| a moderate amount of knowledge, but for those
| who absolutely require a more up-to-date
| installer, PC-BSD may be of more interest
| than FreeBSD. Having said that, the
| installation is probably the hardest part of
| using FreeBSD, so if youâve made it through
| this, FreeBSD is a lot of fun to play with.

Benchmarking Debian's GNU/kFreeBSD
,----[ Quote ]
| There has been an effort underway within the
| Debian development community to pull the
| FreeBSD kernel within this distribution to
| provide an alternative to using the Linux
| kernel. In essence with this Debian
| GNU/kFreeBSD project you have the standard
| Debian package set providing a GNU user-land
| with a GNU C library, but the FreeBSD kernel
| is running underneath. The Debian project has
| also been working on Debian GNU/Hurd to
| effectively do the same thing but with the GNU
| Mach microkernel. But unlike Debian GNU/Hurd,
| with the release of Debian 6.0 "Squeeze",
| Debian GNU/kFreeBSD will reach a release
| status. With the Debian Squeeze release being
| just two months away we have decided to
| provide the first public set of benchmarks
| that compare the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
| performance to that of Debian GNU/Linux. We
| have tested both the 32-bit and 64-bit builds
| of Debian with the Linux and FreeBSD kernels.
