FreeBSD is a free, open-source and UNIX-like operating system. Though relatively unknown, it’s a performing and powerful work-horse, capable of coping with massive work-loads whilest remaining fast, ultra-stable and rock-solid. Blogging about FreeBSD and operating systems based on this versatile, safe and secure OS, I want to generate more interest in FreeBSD and its dependants. If you need a reliable, rock-solid and performing system for either your desktop or servers, consider FreeBSD!
There are new logos on our SpreadFreeBSD.org website which you can use.
Did you know you can help us spread the knowledge and awareness of FreeBSD/PC-BSD by putting one of the new logos on your website, blog or emails and get a point every time somebody clicks on the link?
Bij doing this you can get (by enough points) products from iXsystems free or discounted.
Have a look at the different logos: www.spreadfreebsd.org
These are two more pfSense related news items:
Scott Ullrich from pfSense Project
is looking for anybody willing to donate a hardware or a fast server to speed up building and compiling of pfSense.
It seems more and more that I spend 90% of my time waiting for pfSense builds to validate code changes, kernel changes, etc
more…
Here’s a rundown of parts that would be ideal:
Is there anybody able to help the pfSense project?

This is an interview with Jeremy White, Founder of CodeWeavers. The subject of the talk is the recent availability of an experimental build of Crossover Games for BSD.
One of our regular blog readers brought a new BSD related forum to my attention: daemonforums.org
It’s a new website without much activity yet, but what I’m curious about is, why create yet another BSD related forum? How is this one different from BSD Forums , BSD Support or BSD Nexus etc?
It would have been nice if the creator(s) explained why they’ve started yet another forum or what niche they’re aiming at.
Personally, I think we should co-operate more, recommend and improve what’s available already in the BSD world (be it operating systems, websites or forums - unless strong and valid reasons are there, obviously). United we’re stronger.
Thanks to kace - gotbsd.net for reporting this.
