Earlier today I presented at the 30th International Conference on Software Engineering a research paper comparing the code quality of Linux, Windows (its research kernel distribution), OpenSolaris, and FreeBSD.

Hi, Did anyone manage to install Java 2 JDK 1.4.2 in a FreeBSD 7? I really need a payment service form SecureTrading, and it doesn't work on version 1.5. Any ideas?

I found something interesting in FreeBSD ports today: /usr/ports/misc/tempcontrol/pkg-descr Tempcontrol is a temperature control program.
