FreeBSD/CLANG compiler ready for testing
,----[ Quote ]
| Currently FreeBSD uses GCC (GNU Compiler
| Collection) as its system compiler. Since
| the GCC project has moved to the GPLv3
| license, the FreeBSD Project is forced to
| use version 4.2.1 or earlier.

FreeBSD 7.3-release update: It's going better than I expected
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been running FreeBSD for more than a week
| now - first 8.0-release, now 7.3-release (with
| packages for some reason coming from 7-
| stable), and as the title of this post says,
| it's going very well.

FreeBSD 7.3-release: I'm not done yet
,----[ Quote ]
| I've heard on BSD Talk, which I recommend
| highly, that some kind of journaling is
| coming to the FFS/UFS in FreeBSD. I don't
| know what the real-geek opinion of
| journaling in BSD is, but it seems to me
| like a good idea.
|
| So I'll have a whole lot of user files
| (with my 3 GB+ of Thunderbird mail on an 8
| GB ext3-formatted USB stick) on this
| FreeBSD installation, and I could very well
| see myself in this environment at least
| until Debian Squeeze's release as a Stable
| distribution is imminent.

FreeBSD 7.3 Updates BSD Legacy
,----[ Quote ]
| The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team this
| week put out the FreeBSD 7.3 release which
| is about four months after FreeBSD 8 was
| released.
|
| FreeBSD is known as a solid, stable and
| reliable open source operating system. It
| should come as no surprise then that many
| users of FreeBSD don't jump to the next
| major version number right when it becomes
| available, but rather stay with the legacy
| version for a while.
