if there is a roadmap about where the FreeBSD foundation is leading the operating system i would like to know where is it!! i think a roadmap telling us where the project is going would be good, not just for the community but for the developers themselves. I just have about 3 months of using FreeBSD (i am still using 4.2, b just downloaded 4.5 and i am gonna give it a try) but i find it amusing, entertaining and above all powerful, it gives you the power to crunch lots of data while still leaving your machine usable for everyday use, and all of that with rock solid stability (oh, i forgot what the word reboot means). The point i want to make here is that i would like to know where the project is headed, at what stage would be the 5.0 SMP code in his best time, i would like also more documentation about clustering on the main FreeBSD.org website both for the Parallel model and for the distributed model, i think would take something around $2000 dollars just to show to power users how to build a supercomputer with some pentium chips, maybe i am wrong maybe i am not, but the roadmap is imperative i think. Since i live in a third world country i see that amount of money as a lot, if someone is willing to help me gather the parts or is working on that and need some SIMMS and a Pentium MMX 200, whitout MB that could use to make and document the creating of a low budget cluster, if someone want to help or need my chips to fully develop that project i would like to work on it and count with this hardware: - a computer case w/power supply - 64 MB of memory- 4/16MB SIMMS - a Pentium 200 MMX _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
