-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- http://www.offmyserver.com/cgi-bin/store/news/techtv_090303.html FreeBSD vs. Linux on TechTV!
>> Wah ini seru nih...!!! mari kita lihat.... For immediate Release: San Francisco, Ca. September 3, 2003: On September 2nd, OffMyServer CTO, Matt Olander, and FreeBSD Mall VP of Engineering and Release Engineer, Murray Stokely appeared on TechTV, a major technology network, for a segment entitled FreeBSD vs. Linux. The segment appeared on The Screen Savers show, which is one of TechTV's most popular programs. >> Kapan nih TransTV ngadakan ?? :):) The purpose of the show was to see how FreeBSD stacked up against Linux in a desktop environment. Matt and Murray were invited to represent FreeBSD, while Linux Journal's Chief Editor, Don Marti showed off SuSE Linux. Chris DiBona, formerly of VA Linux, was there to referee the challenge. >> Kalau urusan desktop sih ya bagus Windows XP...hehehe..becanda....:):) OffMyServer provided four systems to each team for demonstration purposes. Each team installed live on the air on one box and then showed some applications that they had a bit of time to setup on the other system. When Leo Laporte, the host of the show, came back to check on the installation, he reported that the FreeBSD side finished their installation first and were already configuring their window manager by the time the Linux guys were putting in disk 3 of their installation. >> wow....nginstall nya lebih cepat FreeBSD nih..!!! lebih mudah dong kali ya ?? TechTV has posted an article regarding the segment that can be found here. "I'm glad that we had a chance to show that FreeBSD is a viable desktop operating system," said Matt. "We found that most people weren't even aware that FreeBSD could run many of the same applications as Linux." >> saya sih cenderung setuju "more application ketimbang same application" The FreeBSD team showed off the Fluxbox window manager (http://www.fluxbox.org) running mplayer playing Ace Ventura Pet Detective, AbiWord, Gnumeric, XChat, Konqueror, KOffice, and other applications. Combined with some transparent multi-colored tinted aterm terminals, Leo thought that the Fluxbox desktop looked very sexy and professional when compared to the vanilla KDE installation on the Linux desktop. >> sudah ada yg nyoba fluxbox ? saya belum nih, jadi kepingin...:):) biasanya cuman KDE atau GNOME "We had the opportunity to discuss the FreeBSD ports collection on live television," stated Murray. "When compared to Linux, this is truly one of the areas that FreeBSD stands out." In the end, Chris officially considered the comparison a tie, although this caused many of the TechTV audience members to boo and hiss the decision. Whether or not it's because they would've preferred to see FreeBSD win, we'll never know.
