FreeBSD 4.0 Review!
Posted by: J0rdan on: 07/18/2000 01:01 AM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
I was making my daily pilgrimage to Slashdot and noticed a link to this review of FreeBSD 4.0. Needless to say the author seems quite taken with it.
At the risk of sounding like a zealot, I will say that FreeBSD 4.0 is faster than any operating system I have ever had on any of my computers. This is not hyperbole or just upgrade fever talking here - the machine boots quicker and the programs I have loaded - like Applixware - just seem to pop up without delay. The developers mention on the FreeBSD homepage that the virtual memory system has been worked over - and if this is the reason for the impressive improvement in speed, I am all for it.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
