I wasnt sure where to stick this, and technically it isnt a question for the General section, but I just had to babble a bit.
Having recently updated to 8.0, I have to say its running sweet. I guess coming from a Windows background, I expected a little more bloat with each release, but this is actually what an update should be. I dont have anything to benchmark with, and didnt before, but according to Conky, my system is performing better.
Also, if anyone reading happens to remember my posts about trying to get justin.tv to work before, and I had ended up finding XBMC to use, well I just happened to open jtv in Firefox last night, and its working. Im guessing this is due to the improvements in the Linux compatibility in 8.0. Although Im using firefox 3.5 now, and I never tested that before, though I couldnt get it to work with FF2 or FF3. Same Linux f8, and flash inststalled.
Thanks to everyone who puts in all the time and work to contribute, develop and update FreeBSD, so its available for end users such as myself.
Much appreciated.
