I think this one would better look like list of major features with os
comparison, like:

= Networking =
  * IPv6: major support, best stack around.
  * SCTP: full kernel implementation, still no userland support (i.e.
ssh doesn't work over sctp by default yet).

= Data storage =
  * ZFS: full support, datasets, compression, dedup, other stuff. Linux
has LVM (?features...) and btrfs (?unstable.. ?features..), Windows has
dynamic disks since XP (?features).

= SMP =
  * (?something about comparing other shedulers with SCHED_ULE), (?some
rt stuff), (?some comparison with other interesting shedulers, like
DragonflyBSD and QNX).

And USB. I believe there are significant changes in the USB subsystems
which
those who are making performance benchmarks completely fail to mention.

What's about DTrace?

= Development/System Profiling =
 * DTrace: Some notes of the Kernel Gurus what this could mean for
performance profiling and development

= Licensing Model =
 * Some striking comments on the advantage for companies or interested
people of the BSD-like licensing model over the GPLv3 on which Linux is
based now and which has serious implications for those who wants to develop
and sell software developed on/with GNU stuff. it would be very honest, if
we do not only emphasize only the pros. BSD came from the academic
environment, that was where I met it the first time and I appreciated the
way things were developed and 'sloppyness' was a nogo. So we should keep it
up and a serious and honest set of contraru points for all compared OS
should be appreciable.


Does the VM of FreeBSD still have advantges (measurable) over Linux?

[Taking random email.]

I think we could merge the $subj web page with this one (which is
more actual, as of 7.0): http://www.freebsd.org/features.html
