Hello! Well yes it is true, i hated the necessity to be online for the installation, got p....d after the first reboot when even Python 2.7 (yuck!) was installed automatically, and also over the net... Also, in QEMU, i got a basic CPU usage of 17% without anything going on, which is the worst of all BSDs i have around. :-)
I really like the green-on-black boot messages, which feels pretty much like home :), clang 3.4 as the base compiler, etc. The real hammer: once i compiled the MUA i maintain and loaded the installation message i got a crash... And debugging this revealed a bug that was introduced on 2007-06-16 -- in a software that is in use on almost all Linux and some commercial Unix distributions, even in the base system! It is sheer unbelievable that this bug never happened to be revealed on whatever operating system the software is used on! You must enforce red zones for user allocations or use a relatively fine grid in the memory allocator, with individual chunks that serve enclosed in red zones! But whatever you do, your're alone with it (in a default configuration and as far as my horizon extends, that is)! Wishing you the best, and Ciao, --steffen
