FreeBSD The second beta of FreeBSD 7 has been released. "The 7.0-BETA2 builds have completed and are on many of the FreeBSD mirror sites. If you want to update an existing machine using cvsup use RELENG_7 as the branch tag. Instructions on using FreeBSD Update to perform a binary upgrade from FreeBSD 6.x to 7.0-BETA2 will be provided via the freebsd-stable list when available." Additionally, there's a discussion on supporting a subset of c++ in the FreeBSD kernel.

Did you use beta 1 or 2?
I started from scratch when beta 1 came out and had no troubles at all.
7 is running fine, did a buildworld and buildkernel and build up my system with the ports and all runs fine.
The only drawback is not having a compatible driver from Nvidia so I can't tell for sure if SCHED_ULE does make the system feel more responsive compared to SCHED_4BSD. Graphic performance is too slow with the nv driver. :-(
