Comment Re:OpenBSD (Score 1) 192

Why use Linux when you could use OpenBSD? We've been running OpenBSD routers for quite some time now and their networking is far better, consistent and more robust than in Linux. Just having PF alone is reason enough to use OpenBSD.

Why use Linux? Because Linux has a more stable, scalable, faster and more robust network stack than OpenBSD.

That's quite silly. Considering this brings back the missing features that everyone was missing like a start button and boot to desktop. This puts it on par and better in many ways than Windows 7.

The start button does not doing anything useful. And its still missing the Start Menu, and I very much prefer Aero over the ugly flatness of Windows 8 metro interface.

This is why a mid-range Intel part (Say, an Intel Core i5-4670K) can handily (and significantly) beat AMD's top-of-the-line desktop CPU (An FX-8350)

Really? CPU Benchmarks says

  i5-4670K - 7531

  AMD FX-8350 - 9091

A comparable Intel chip would have to be closer to i7-3820, not your i5. Perhaps your benchmarks are a little crappy?

Anyway, AMD is far more $$$ efficient for typical desktop. Yes, including any thermal envelope differences.

Finally some facts.

Comment Re: A great win for FreeBSD (Score 1) 457

All I see are a couple of pictures. It starts with GRUB in one picture, which could suggest that it's Debian kFreeBSD, or maybe GRUB2 loading regular FreeBSD. Then in the next picture, someone's loading libstdc++, suggesting that Sony isn't totally against the GPL, and even then the license version hasn't been established yet.

  So basically, the idea that it's based on "modified FreeBSD 9.0" comes from one sentence on a site I've never visited. Might one of the experts here correct me? I've seen only enough kFreeBSD to run back to the real FreeBSD rather quickly, not much longer than that. Thanks!
