Several servers I manage running FreeBSD 5-CURRENT as of 20040228 appears to bearing wierd deadlocks, which could be triggered by ps(1), top(1) and w(1).

junsu and I have discussed about some big hacks to FreeBSD kernel, and the implementation of a minidump is a good idea, I think.

On Windows there’s a minidump mechanism. The minidump will save ‘crashing’ pages only, while full dump will save the whole core memory when the system going to crash.

It’s the latest NetBSD stable RELEASE. This version is dedicated to Erik Reid, a NetBSD developer who contributed many MIPS related port efforts, as well as the XFree86 DRI interface, and were dead in an sailing accident in February 18, 2004.

This is really insteresting one. With an “advertised” shell link, Windows Installer will automatically executed to install on demand.

I finally understood what he want, according to his post today:

" Hey, here’s an idea… using the VFS wrapper idea our
‘ports’ system could create a namespace that makes everything
appear to be preinstalled. So instead of CDing somewhere and
typing make, or running an apt-get type of utility, you would
simply run the program you want to run and our package manager
would download and install it on the fly."

Despite being hurt in an accident, he finally committed the newtoken commit to DragonFlyBSD!!

It is really Orphean strains.

The ablum was “If I Could Tell You”, published in 2000. I am not sure whether I can finally obtain a original CD copy or two, but I think it is valuable to have one.

Under a more restrictive licence, the XFree86 project has finally released the long-awaited XFree86 4.4.0-RELEASE. Well, this is really a big news, however, the licence (Yes you guys may say that it is very similiar to the BSD Licence with four clause, however it is not, and more importantly, this is more like the ancient four clause one, which was replaced by a new three-caluse one, and most BSDers will prefer a two clause one like the following:

Today I have purchased a new computer for avo. Considering that the computer is intended to be mainly used for text processing, its configuration is not a relatively advanced one.
