"The next major update of FreeBSD 7, due this December, is in the running to be one of the most impressive FreeBSD releases to date. The ULE scheduler has now reached maturity, leading to significant gains across the board (particularly in server workloads). This new scheduler brings notably impressive performance improvements to both MySQL and PostgreSQL. In the first section of this article, I'm going to take a look at what's new. In the second section, I will discuss what the future holds for FreeBSD beyond the upcoming FreeBSD 7.0 release, including screen shots of the revamped FreeBSD installer 'finstall'."

C'mon this is no stable release, you should really nobody with a sane mind would use such kernel in production! Yeah apart from some desktop users (hello Windows) :->
Have a look at Debian, guess why they are using no bleeding edge kernel? Because _you_ and every other user of bleeding edge kernels are the beta tester!
But don't be to tearful, there is a life after the flame 
As you can see here, the ultimative truth about Linux and BSD *g*

We can see, but we cannot read the funny(?) German comments in between.
Linux is great when everything works, has better hw support, and Debian is a great Desktop system most of the time, hail aptitude!, but when you have a problem:
BSD - How do I configure xxxx? man xxxx
Linux - How do I configure xxxx? man xxxx, huh? google xxxx, huh? google Fedora Core kernel 2.6.22 xxxx, "Hey xxxx sploded on me wtf omg i needs hlp","RTFM","recompile your kernel with option --xxxx", huh?

>Maybe with the kernel release it will be even better, maybe it will be worse. Linux is always a developer snapshot since they abolished stable and developer kernels.
Get a grib, 2.6.x.x is stable releases.
