FreeBSD 6

With a little spare time today I've had a look at the latest information on FreeBSD 6.

There are some great new things being introduced -- WPA authentication, sound fixups, new dhclient and generally much greater stability. From what I've read I'm really liking how 6 is shaping up and with any luck I'll give it a whirl when I get back to England.

I don't yet know of the status of Beagle and other Mono-based apps, but I do know Mono is supported in the ports repository, so that's a good start.

Maybe it's not quite up to Ubuntu in terms of user-friendliness, but I certainly believe it has a great many other redeeming features.
