While Linux gets all the glory and commercial support, BSD derived operating systems such as FreeBSD chug away in the backrooms and datacenters of the world quietly processing HTTP and SMTP transactions. While it lacks funding and recognition, the FreeBSD community regularly updates and improves their OS, with a version 7 already in pre-release.
FreeBSD traces its roots to the Computer Systems Research Group at the University of California, Berkeley. Ten years of work have been put into enhancing BSD that includes adding SMP and multithreading support.
The new version 7 release due out in the summer of 2008 will distinguish itself with it’s performance abilities. It will support up to 8 CPU cores, the ZFS filesystem and 10 Gbs network support.
Staying true to it’s back office roots, these features will inevitably keep it out of the spotlight and a fringe community at best.

Well, in fact it supports MORE than 8 cores
There was only information, that up to 8 cores performance scales practically linear.
