While I agree with your point, some releases are more groundbreaking than others (it's not everyday we get a new FreeBSD); So shouldn't the voting system take over at that point? There has to be a reason this ranks so highly here...
- swolchok 17y agoWell, downmodding isn't allowed.
- tsally 17y agoYes, there is a reason, and I suspect it is because Paul uses FreeBSD and there is an associated cult with what Paul does. As I said before, there's nothing groundbreaking about this release. I agree with you in that I would be happy to see significant releases here. :)
- mattyb 17y agoAccording to http://www.paulgraham.com/mac.html http://www.paulgraham.com/mac.html, Paul uses a Mac. And this release fixed a major boot issue on 2 machines for me, so I figured someone else might want to know.
- tsally 17y agoLast time I checked, the hardware has nothing to do with the operating system. I don't know explicitly what Paul runs now, but I know he has run FreeBSD in the past. I also know that the very article you linked to mentions the fact that Macs can run FreeBSD as an important point.
