Kris Kennaway - New features in FreeBSD 7



New Features in FreeBSD 7.0
The main new feature has to do with multi-processor support.
Multi-processor support began back in FreeBSD 5.0 and is finally finished in 7.0.
The performance graphs for 7.0 with the new scheduler for 8 Processors look very nice.
He recommends switching to the ULE scheduler by recompiling your kernel, because it will not be the default scheduler.
