Update after a long time!

Took a real break from all these to concentrate more on personal front.
So here I am after a big break wanted to post few things which is getting me hooked and exciting
First and foremost of FreeBSD - with just released version of 10 FreeBSD moves into a milestone with some solid changes all over
so what and all happened during these days of FreeBSD 8 to FreeBSD 10

1. Major changes in kernel where the kernel is much more fine tuned for processors with multi cores i.e FreeBSD scales pretty much very with latest all hardwares
2.Clag was introduced as the major/default compiler for FreeBSD system. Yes gcc is still there but not installed by default
3. Ports system under went major over haul with a security breach happend @ 2012 and pkg is the default package managment.
4. Bind is removed from the system, it got replaced with a super light unbind.
5. Major virtualization enhancements
6. Introduction of capsicum into the default system (enhanced jail/sandboxing)
7.Major changes in FreeBSD installer
8. Kernel can address upto 4 TB of system memory
9. Enhanced hardware support
10.ZFS got matured very much and considered to be very stable

These are of few I could think of and for the entire features you could visit the Whats New page of FreeBSD 10 hereSo that to start with
