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.

C# is just a rehash of Java, but (and I hate to say this) it seems like a better version of Java.
It is better in some areas (like the threading model) and it is great for Windows desktop application programming; far more so than Java. However, it can't do servlets, it doesn't run on as many platforms (at least for now), it can't be used for web programming except with ASP.NET and IIS (at least for now), and it can't do applets (if you're into that sort of thing), although it can be used to create ActiveX viruses for you to place on your web pages, and with support for "unsafe" code, the fun possibilities are endless.
