Yeap I think their Hardware support has reached BSD levels but not yet Linux levels too I agree it looks rather nice and responsive but I still prefer BSD Except the ZFS part looks really tempting

Developers have the final say so I think this is somewhat under control... Useful features can be filtered out of all the requests Yes but my opinion is wireless N is here to stay so why not a headstart? A feature(ZFS) from Sun Micro can't be that bad afterall one of SUN Micro's cofounder...

I have seen asus_acpi in Kern conf options you can try it For wifi you have to state what card it is

When i mean mainstream i only wanted the additional device drivers for new hardware New hardware will emerge whether you like it or not Example is the new Wireless N standards I think ZFS isn't as bad as you put it out to be and it is suppose to be the last filesystem ever need due to the...

I don't care if FreeBSD became mainstream BUT if mainstream will make manufacturers program native drivers for their new hardware for FreeBSD I say go mainstream

I think your helper is here :e

Actually I know that from other users' feedback for my model Distros using 2.6.26 will work out of box

Thats why i place this thread in off-topic :e New BroadCom ethernet chipset not yet supported as well as atheros the draft n standards the acpi partially usable

Isn't this portsnap?

Anyone can recommend a good Linux 64bit distro that uses kernel 2.6.26 above (or readily upgradable) I need it to support my new hardware because BSD does not it I also need to support CUDA natively (Also no Ubuntu and Mandriva I hate that word!) I am considering OpenSUSE or Fedora Also...

I hope 1) Nvidia will release AMD64 Driver soon on FreeBSD 2) CUDA is available soon natively on FreeBSD 3) Acer_Acpi will be available on FreeBSD 4) The new BroadCom Ethernet chips is supported 5) New Atheros N is supported Then again it is just my wishes. What about yours? :)

Sorry i don't understand this part "-o time" option Could you elaborate?

I think they didn't optimize Linux kernel or Solaris kernel as well so that point should be invalid

A new benchmark have emerge testing FreeBSD vs OpenSolaris vs Ubuntu and FreeBSD doesn't seem to be pwning others (in the benchmark) any opinions? See the benchmark here

... Some of them disagree with me... I do admit dumbing FreeBSD down may be detrimental to the quality But i feel support for latest hardware should always be a priority To increase marketshare new system will always have new hardware Maybe the dumbing it down maybe PC-BSD's job But...

Is it possible to ndisgen Vista drivers?

No unfortunately new Laptops that come with atheros Wireless Draft N standards are not supported by the current atheros driver in FreeBSD due to different chipset:x

Microsoft wants to hint that the users got so fed up with OS X they installed Vista instead :e

But i used += which adds to the compilation options not overwrite it?!

Yea Netcraft shows yahoo almost runs totally on FreeBSD but that is the only Commercial Giant using FreeBSD i can think of
