acaben writes "MacSlash has posted what Jordan Hubbard says will be his last interview for Apple. Apple's Engineering Manager for the BSD Technology Group talks about the new BSDPorts initiative, his thoughts on working for Apple and Apple's Open Source strategy, and how Mac users new to Open Source can get involved and contribute to the community. He also gets delightfully geeky in comparing the differences between Darwin's VM envirnoment and FreeBSD's and explains that Darwin was built with things like working with Final Cut Pro in mind."

Re:NeXT clustering happens with PDO's by bbum · 2002-12-18 03:44 · Score: 3, Informative

Actually, that was one way that clustering could happen on the NeXT. However, there were others-- a number of others. PDO doesn't really scale well; tends to lead to packet storms. Other architectures are preferable.

There have been a handful of stories that talk about the [very competitive, btw] clustering capabilities of the XServe.
