Might explain why Panasonic is replacing Linux with FreeBSD in their VIERA TVs (see license agreement at http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/tv/download/2010/down_navt.html).

Yeah, especially the "hobby" part, and the "up to ve level of other unix systems", which is false, as explained above. ;->

Linux is a nice 'hobby' OS; however, its hardware support sucks for virtually all modern devices. It's 2010, and Linux still has problems with basic functionality like suspend or graphics acceleration support on many machines. ;->
Of course, you're missing the fact that desktop is not the whole world. Lack of 802.11n support for a few devices doesn't really matter when you're building a core router, NAS, or a http server.
(Also, your trolling would be better if it didn't contain claims that are easy to verify as false. In particular, the point about ACLs is bad, because it's easy to check that e.g. Linux doesn't support standard NFSv4 ACLs at all. ;-)
New LLVM Debugger Subproject Already Faster Than GDB 174
kthreadd writes "The LLVM project is now working on a debugger called LLDB that's already faster than GDB and could be a possible alternative in the future for C, C++, and Objective-C developers. With the ongoing success of Clang and other LLVM subprojects, are the days of GNU as the mainstream free and open development toolchain passé?" LLVM stands for Low Level Virtual Machine; Wikipedia as usual has a good explanation of the parent project.
