The <a href="http://www.freebsddiary.org/">FreeBSD Diary</a>, a
|
|
chronicle of what one guy is doing with FreeBSD, has been around
|
|
for almost two years. Until today, it was tucked away in a corner
|
|
of his site. Following significant growth, a new-look site was
|
|
launched today. The site contains a huge number of how-to guides
|
|
and the readership includes NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Linux
|
|
users.</p></li>

The <a href="http://www.testdrive.compaq.com/">Compaq Testdrive
|
|
program</a> is now making testdrives available of the latest
|
|
FreeBSD 4.0-20000101-CURRENT release running on an Alpha XP1000
|
|
EV6.7. running at 667MHz and loaded with two gigs of ram. To get
|
|
a free shell account as a participant in the testdrive program,
|
|
all you need to do is register at the site. These accounts aren't
|
|
for playing, the goal of the program is to make brand new systems
|
|
available to developers so they can test, build and port their
|
|
apps to the world's fastest computer. The testdrive program also
|
|
offers other systems running FreeBSD, including a Proliant 5500
|
|
dual Xeon 450MHz and a DPW500a.</p></li>
