Ik kwam dit leuke mailtje in mijn mail box tegen.
Het gaat dus echt de goede kant op met FreeBSD 5.0.
[quote]A Developer Preview release of FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT is now available
for widespread testing. This preview is a significant milestone
towards the eventual release of FreeBSD 5.0 in late 2002. Some of the
many new features that are available in this snapshot are listed
below:
* SMP support has been largely reworked, incorporating code from
BSD/OS 5.0 (in progress).
* The random(4) device has been rewritten to use the Yarrow
algorithm. It harvests entropy from a variety of interrupt
sources (hardware devices) to provide the entropy required by
strong cryptography.
* Support for 32-bit Cardbus devices has been added for mobile
computers (NEWCARD).
* Significant security enhancements have been made throughout the
system, including a reworked PAM implementation, ACLs, and fewer
privileged programs in the base system.
* An implementation of scheduler activations has been added to
the kernel to more efficiently handle multi-threaded
programs. (in progress).
* A device filesystem has been added to allow entries in the /dev
directory to be automatically attached. Among other benefits,
devfs provides better support for attaching and detaching
peripheral devices.
* Support for the sparc64 architecture, including most modern
workstations and entry level servers from Sun Microsystems (and
possibly clones from Tatung, and others).
* FFS snapshots and background fsck(8).[/quote]
