Dual-core processors and FreeBSD 6.0

2005-12-15 Thread Justin Franks

Hello,
I would like to know if FreeBSD 6.0 supports dual-core CPU chips. Note, 
dual-core is different from dual CPU.
On Jun. 13, 2005 PT Wired magazine explained a dual-core CPU as the following in a 
article titled The New Chips on the Block
A dual-core processor differs from a single-core chip in that it has two physical computer processing unit, or CPU, cores on a 
single die.

Differences between FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.0 releases

2005-08-02 Thread Justin Franks

I've been using FreeBSD since the 3.x trains and run 5.4 now.
Can someone please bullet point the main features of 6.0, specifically the 
features that 6.0 will have that 5.4 does not?
Thanks.

Thanks. Think I'll stick with 5.4 for now.
CARP is really the main piece that concerns me.
