Hello Free BSD users , developers, admins, maintainers and whoever is responsible for that briljant piece of software. Free BSD release 4.8 runs flawlessly on my old pentium I box. It grossly outperforms the Slackware , SusSe and Mandrake linux distros that were present on that same box before. In my humble opinion those three linux distros performed a fine job. A Slackware linux already runs on a second pentium III box. The following question appeared : "Why not try out a BSD flavour ?" It seems that also BSD is able of clustering several machines into one powerful parallel beast. So the old pentium I PC gets equiped with Free BSD release 4.8 instead of the three linux-es it had before. The performance was really astonishing. No wonder , why Apple choose a BSD derivative to forge its Darwin MAC OS X kernel from. CONGRATULATIONS AND KEEP UP TO EXCELLENT WORK , GENTLEMEN!!! Yours , sincerely.
