Re: FreeBSD 10 prognostication...
Maybe there is some truth to this. FreeBSD uses use clang, Apple's compiler, since FreeBSD 9: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2012-May/067486.html.

Re: FreeBSD 10 prognostication...
Eh, sorry. I got excited at the prospect of downloading FreeBSD from the App Store and having the installer "just work" in a modern GUI. You have to admit, FreeBSD is lacking in this area. It would be a boon.

Re: FreeBSD 10 prognostication...
Can you share a brief overview of what's wrong with it? I guess I'm not as knowledgeable as I thought. The story was quite enticing to me.

FreeBSD 10 prognostication...
Can't say that I wouldn't look forward to this, but it sounds a little off: http://www.trollaxor.com/2012/05/freebsd-x-berkeley-unix-apple-quality.html What do others think? --Vance ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
