So i wrote some articles recently for 7.1 and the release-cycle around it to try and provide as much possible information without telling you all things that we as a project cannot make true etc. I see that my “how to upgrade to 7.1″ article is being read a lot, in fact it is one of the most popular items in my entire article-range. Which made me wonder about a few things, which I hope that you (my readers) can answer:

*) Is FreeBSD 7.1 long awaited and popular?
*) Aren’t there enough documents that provide this straight to the point information? (Do this and this and you have 7.1 running)
*) Should I proceed with these kind of articles for the future release-cycle’s?
*) How is 7.1 being received? Do you like it? Do you hate it?

Reasons I want to know this, is whether I should bring in my attention to this area now which I might be doing a ‘difference’ again, and whether it really helps the community or not. And last but not least ofcourse, we tried to work hard to bring you the best release possible, but I personally cannot entirely judge how the community received our work. I think we did great, but I cannot speak for you :)

If you read this, and are willing to help, please respond to this article :-)

Thanks,
Remko

Visiting our new house

Last weekend (not this one) we visited our house. First Luca and myself (after being invited over by the current owner) and on sunday Denise and I visited the house to talk with the current owners and look at things that we might want to take over etc. We noticed that eventhough we thought that we needed to do a real lot in the single week we have to get the primairy parts going, we should manage to get this. I have 2 weeks off from work, and am able to work on remaining items after those weeks when at home. Looking for a good start !

A few days before we also made sure that we know what we want to have in the house, so we selected couches, beds, tables, etc which we want to have and wrote them down. We are ready to go in that regard :-) all that is left todo is redoing two rooms, buy some new paper and stick it on the wall (shortly said). Ofcourse there will be a large base that remains after one week, so the second week will be quite busy for me.

I arranged that we have phone, tv, internet, power, water and all the moment we enter the house. Together with most req. parts it is important to have (so that we can relax when needed etc).

Just a tiny few weeks more before we can actually start, 50% of my stuff is now in boxes, yesterday I packed some clothes already (Which I only wear during the summer) and need to search through the current amount of shirts etc to see what I am still going to wear and what not (why move things over if you are not going to use them anyway). I also need to pack the things under my bed.. so enough work that remains :-)
