My wonderful, fully tricked out Ubuntu desktop that I love so much?? THEY WANT TO PUT THAT ON IT??????? I'm freaking out. I'm freaking out I'm freaking out. I love Ubuntu. Oh so much. And I have problems with letting go - moving on - I cried when I switched browsers. That may not be healthy, but it's me. Switching operating systems is Extremely Difficult. This better not ruin things. Wait … what are they planning on doing to my Ubuntu desktop? My wonderful, fully tricked out Ubuntu desktop that I love so much?? THEY WANT TO PUT THAT ON IT???????

It should be a good year with FreeBSD 9 and Clang/LLVM becoming the default compiler, a more current version of ZFS in the base system, improvements to Jails, etc. </p> Here’s hoping that 2011 has some good things in store for FreeBSD as well.
