[Tfug] FreeBSD update

[Predrag Punosevac]

If I was you I would wait 20 more days for the release of FreeBSD 7.0.
I have on one of my computers FreeBSD 7.0 Beta 3 release candidate and is  
fantastic.

New major features are ULE scheduler which is in particular going to  
improve the performance if you are using SMP kernel (needs to be turn on  
but it will be default in 7.1) and
zfs file system (Solaris file system).

You will also have new hnd sound driver for AC97 chip set (pretty much all  
cheap mother boards come with that chip-set) and slue of other minor  
improvements.


Cheers,
Predrag
