Interview With Jordan K. Hubbard

Posted by Nik on from the NP:-Baby-it's-cold-outside dept.

SecretAsianMan writes, "With all the hoopla about the WC/BSDI merger, it's easy to forget that FreeBSD 4.0 will be out soon. Boardwatch has an interview with Jordan K. Hubbard about what's new in FreeBSD 4.0, porting to different architectures, and what the future holds for FreeBSD. "

    Well, you see, the majority of the FreeBSD community are too apathetic towards this sort of thing. I think it might be because we actually work with our OS rather than spend all day going round the multitude of OS-news sites trying to get a post up on Slashdot, unlike the majority of the 15 year olds that run some other OS I've heard about recently. Called Lifesux or something...

    Remember, all potential submissions at Slashdot not only have to be approved, but they have to have a lawyer look over them to check that they won't damage VA Linux or whoever owns them now, in any way. This means that stories take 2 days or more to post, and many normal stories are quashed because they might harm Linux or an owner of Slashdot etc.

    Then you have to count in all of those little niggleworthy biases the Slashdot editors have, which makes a successful story submission a lottery at best!

    I actually submitted this article quite a while back, when the news wasn't old. The good people at Slashdot have to sift through *hundreds* of submissions like mine, so let's not bash 'em just because it took a my post a little while to make it to the BSD forum, ok?
