The question was asked recently on a FreeBSD mailing list, "What will be new in FreeBSD 5.0?" The thread discussed several ways a person could obtain such information, one good source being the latest release notes. The first developer preview of 5.0 was released on April 8th. The final release is targeted for the end of this year. Robert Watson offered an interesting summary of items to look forward to in FreeBSD 5.0, including: SMPng ("next generation" symmetric multiprocessing), KSE (improved scheduling), devfs (automatic /dev management), Firewire support, and much more. Read on KernelTrap for more details.

Personally, I don't like the idea of .NET all that much. Sure, its "great" to have services and such in one place but, why is it all Microsoft? Why not other companies as well? Any way I look at it, I can't seem to like it very much. Yeah, it may do a lot but... Currently, I guess I can't be "bothered" to like it.
FreeBSD 5.0.
You know, I've never tried out BSD, and I'm not much of a knowledgeable Linux guy myself but, I like alternate OS' just as much as the next guy but, why do we have to start this argument of BSD is sooooo much better than Linux or, Linux is soooooo much better than BSD?
If there's one thing that's gonna kill the OpenSource community, its the OpenSource community. We bicker so much about which system is better. We fight so much about which liscence is better. Look at the .deb v .rpm fights.
I personally think that Linux doesn't have what it takes _RIGHT NOW_ in some area's to beat out FreeBSD, nor FreeBSD have what it takes in _other_ area's to beat out Linux. I think they both happen to complement each other in many ways.
Think about it. FreeBSD = Cool in many ways. Linux = Cool in different, yet some of the same ways. Both are OpenSource. Both try to achieve somewhat of the same thing.
And most importantly. _BOTH ARE UNIX_
