During the "downtime" caused by the Kaspersky update, I started to browse for alternatives. One of the alternatives that caught my eye was Clamav, an open-source virus scanner for UNIX systems; Although there is also a Windows port available. As I was peeking a bit through the options and features, an idea sparked in my mind; A memory of an old love that popped up, so to speak.

I tried to dismiss the idea but it kept haunting me, and eventually I surrendered to the unspoken desire: I wanted my old love back, no matter what it takes.

In the last week of January 2011, version 8.2 of the FreeBSD operating system will be released. You might wonder why I'm mention this on November 2nd, but it has a reason. Basically I've got 3 months to freshen up my UNIX skills, convert my sites and services so that they can work with FreeBSD and work out some new stuff. I've installed version 8.1 on my laptop, which will serve as a staging / development template.

I've added a link in the menu to give an overview of the project status. I've done a lot of research and all the issues that made me decide to migrate to Windows in January 2009 are no longer an issue. Maybe I was just lazy back then, or maybe I was just tired of doing the research... Whatever the real reasons were, they're off the past. My love for the FreeBSD operating system is revitalized and stronger than ever. After 2 years of Windows, we're going back to FreeBSD!
