FreeBSD 7 release and interview

Congratulations to the FreeBSD release engineering team for another great release of FreeBSD: FreeBSD 7. Of course we have to wait for the official announcement and the builds, but if you’re updating via sourcecode then you should already have the release. Furthermore there is a very interesting interview with some of the FreeBSD developers in terms of What’s New in FreeBSD 7.0. If you don’t know it already, well there you go :)

FreeBSD is back to its incredible performance and now can take advantage of multi-core/CPUs systems very well… so well that some benchmarks on both Intel and AMD systems showed release 7.0 being faster than Linux 2.6 when running PostreSQL or MySQL.
