Jordan Hubbard Interview Cleaned Up

Jason123 writes: "Almost twenty days ago, FreeBSD's (& also Apple's) Jordan Hubbard gave an interview via IRC to BSDVault. With permission from BSDVault, OSNews has now cleaned-up the interview, formatted it in a more readable manner and published the result. Jordan talks all sorts of interesting things, like FreeBSD 5, his job at the kernel team at Apple, the FreeBSD commmunity, XFree, Microsoft and more." (This is the interview featured in slightly rawer form here.)

sounds like it is tracking linux

It sounds as if they're tracking the same feature set as Linux but trying to roll it all out in a smoother transition. That's one of the strongest features of FreeBSD, I think. There's no unstable periods between libc revisions, problems going from a.out to elf, or the VM getting replaced midway through a stable branch :).

I just wish I could run it on my mac, jkh does work at Apple afterall.
