FreeBSD 7.0 Beta1 Available!

Since I first tried FreeBSD on the server side I have a preference for it over Linux. I think it has superior performance, not that I have done any real benchmark but I have, sort of, felt it. Anyway some friends have done some tests in the past, but tests or not I still think it is a rock solid OS. My experience comes from FreeBSD 4.11 and 5.3, thos two versions were probably the best, now that they are both out of maintenance i use a mix between 5.5 and 6.0. But for some reason those two versions have not been as solid as the 5.3 or 4.11 were. In most cases it was a hardware compatibility problem.

Now FreeBSD 7.0 is nearing its release, probably in December we will have a brand new FreeBSD. I expect to see better hardware support and much more stability in general. So in order to accomplish that I hope to test the new beta release and any other change in the future. Just hope to have some time at work.
