Stories similar to Clang, Chromium, ZFS Improve On FreeBSD

So I was surfing the net and stumbled upon this article. It basically states that FreeBSD, starting from Version 10 and above will deprecate GCC in favor of Clang/LLVM.

Gli sviluppatori di FreeBSD hanno annunciato che a partire dal prossimo 4 Novembre ci sarà una piccola rivoluzione alla toolchain alla base del sistema: il compilatore Clang del progetto LLVM sostituirà la classica GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) come compilatore di default per il codice C/C++/Objective-C che andrà a girare su architetture i386 e x86_64.

The FreeBSD.org cluster saw a security breach on two of its machines on Sunday. Following the breach, FreeBSD.org was taken offline, and although most of it is back online now, some deprecated projects are being removed.

FreeBSD 7.3 Is Out 3 years 12 weeks ago

The stable legacy branch of the popular BSD-based operating system FreeBSD has been updated to FreeBSD 7.3. The release is a housekeeping update that brings some newer packages and some security fixes, but no new features. FreeBSD 7.3 is now available for the amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64 architectures.

The FreeBSD Foundation, the maker of the FreeBSD open source operating system, proudly announced on the last day of 2012 that the FreeBSD 9.1 release is now officially available. Actually, the FreeBSD 9.1 operating system was available for download (without any official release) on the FTP servers of the FreeBSD Foundation since last week.

FreeBSD, an operating system for x86, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures, is now at version 8.4 RC2.

The developers of FreeBSD have moved forward with their distribution and have launched the second Release Candidate.

The information about this release is rather scarce. Only a few warnings from the dev team have been published and emphasized.

FreeBSD 10: le novità 48 weeks 6 days ago

La release numero 10 di FreeBSD è ancora lontana (manca circa un anno presumibilmente) eppure è già possibile dare uno sguardo al progetto preliminare. In un articolo di Phoronix sono state infatti elencate alcune fra le principali novità che verranno implementate nella prossima release.

Primo cambiamento importante: GCC viene sostituito da LLVM-Clang.

I would like to automate the installation of FreeBSD 8.2 for a project I'm working on. I know the answer to every question in the standard installation, so even a script that just pushes keystrokes would be acceptable. All clues appreciated.

FWIW, I tried this question on the FreeBSD fora (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=23906) but only got one response that didn't solve the problem.

Even though it was known by most of FreeBSD users that the 9.0 release of the best BSD operating system will reach EOL (End-Of-Life) on March 31, 2013, we feel obliged to announce users that FreeBSD 9.0 is no longer supported.
