All the *BSD Projects: make a CVS tree available for anyone to browse and download, 24 hours a day. The tree can be retrieved using Anonymous CVS, CVSup, CVSupit, CTM (by e-mail), or through simple FTP." => FreeBSD migrate to SVN some time ago => Is important to precise "24 hours a day" ? We should replace this part by something like that: "All the *BSD Projects use SVN or at least CVS to maintain their source code. All the *BSD Projects: make a SVN or CVS tree available for anyone to browse and download, 24 hours a day. The tree can be retrieved using Anonymous CVS, CVSup, CVSupit, CTM (by e-mail), SVN, or through simple FTP/HTTP." On the "You cannot make your own distributions or derivative works of *BSD" section, there are some died link/project: - ThinBSD => Blank page website, don't know if it's still alive And FreeNAS and NAS4Free are missing from this list too. Other outdated fact: The "Technological enhancements" list should be updated (Capsicum, ZFS, etc...) Other outdated fact: "Architecture ports: FreeBSD supports seven main architectures currently: Alpha, AMD64, i386, Itanium, PC-98, PowerPC and UltraSPARC" => We should remove Alpha and add ARM The "You can't cluster *BSD systems (parallel computing)" section should be updated with the HybridCluster (http://www.hybrid-cluster.com/) example that is more recent than the given examples. Other outdated fact: "FreeBSD: There are currently more than 16,000 applications ready to download and install in the FreeBSD ports collection." => FreshPorts indicate 24,376 ports. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
