Star Review: FreeBSD 7.0
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 14th Mar 2008 20:48 UTC, submitted by Valour
FreeBSD "Here we are at the moment of truth for the FreeBSD operating system - the 7.0 release. This is what FreeBSD users and developers have been waiting for ever since the dark days of the 5.X series when the promises of superior performance, threading, and stability fell flat. Though each release in the FreeBSD 6.X series improved markedly in quality and performance, 7.0 has been widely anticipated as the release that FreeBSD fans can have confidence in. I wish I could say that FreeBSD 7.0 lived up to the hype."

The recompiled system is working well and fast. Only downsides for me:
1. Compiled in keymap (ATKBD/UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP) doesn't work anymore.


You should probably bring this up on the stable@ mailing list and/or file a PR.

2. Sun Type 6 mouse and keyboard work, but no identification string is displayed at startup (ukbd, ums), allthough entries in usbdevs database are present.


I am not sure if this is expected. It doesn't sound like it's causing any problems though.
