that 9.0 had tons of new features that were added and its not exactly a point release upgrade from 8.2 , however one can argue that if it were there would be less yelling about when version X is going to be EOL'd and when will version Y be released. -- mark saad | nones...@lon

Re: FreeBSD Boot Times

d out the box . Pc-bsd has something called fastboot ? I am am not sure how it works but it improves load time in their setups . See http://lists.pcbsd.org/pipermail/testing/2012-January/006358.html Other then that, there are some other things being developed check the FreeBSD wiki for a rc.

They have a lot of manpower and can spend a lot of time replacing the boot subsystems and all startup scripts every 2 releases. For FreeBSD it's not a big issue as most people don't reboot often. If it's an itch you want to scratch you're more than welcome to look into it; that seems to be th
