Journal Journal: One Sentence review of FreeBSD 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 2

That sentence is: THIS SHIT DON'T WORK!

Seriously, I've tried 5.0, 5.1 and now the 20 meg iso (hell, after all the crap you don't seriously think I'm going to spend 6 days d/l'ing a full iso, do you?) of 5.2-rc1 and don't NONE of them boot for SHIT

I don't know wtf crack these freaks are smoking, but it definately shows two things:

A)The trolls are just as right about BSD as they are about slashdot politics in general

B)Jordon Hubbard, Matt Dillon and the rest of the FreeBSD escapees represent not a few lone voices of dissent, but a true and honest brain drain.

Here is my suggestion for those few talented hackers left on the FreeBSD team.

Listen up you two:

a)drop the 5.x branch, merge Dragonfly BSD together with what reamins of the 4_Release tree and call it 6.x

b)pronounce FreeBSD dead and join a worthwhile gnulinux project.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Journal Journal: Ja, das ist mien FIRST POST...[ plus stray /. thoughts.] 1


  1. I believe I've gotten one before, but this is the first one I've bothered to record.

  2. I have been in a deep blue funk since reading this story on the fourth. Today, I had it pointed out to me by my older brother that the main difference between that happening here and it happening IN SOVIET RUSSIA is that here, you get to read about it. I guess I feel better now; knowing that for being as fucked (or not) as we are...we don't have to hear about it only through some neferious underground.

  3. You're probably wondering why I'm here. So am I...
    Em Emalb posted an excellent journal entry asking for people's opinions of /.
    I would like to take that one half of a step further and ask those who think "it sucks" what the appeal is in coming back? If it sucks, what is the appeal that draws you to waste your time here? Is it inertia? Is it a hope for change? Are you riding out a bad /. cycle..or is it something else? Feel free to comment.

I doubt I'll write many journal entries, as I honestly don't have much to say [in general]...but time will tell.
