BSDs to be Merged

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-about-time dept.

A dæmon writes "According to Daily Daemon News and The FreeBSD Diary, NetBSD, FreeBSD and GNU/OpenBSD are to be merged. Read the full story here." This is a good thing since one of the two BSDs clearly sucked, and the other was clearly superior.

  2. FreeBSD Supports the Evil Bit by franimal · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just check out the following post to the freebsd-current mailing list.

    From owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org Tue Apr 1 05:47:31 2003
    Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 05:48:53 -0500 (EST)
    From: "Matthew N. Dodd"
    To: freebsd-current@freebsd.org
    Subject: IFF_EVIL patch available.

    Leveraging our new RFC3514 support I've implemented a new network
    interface flag 'IFF_EVIL' which causes all IP packets crossing the
    interface to have the IP_EVIL bit set.

    ftp://ftp.jurai.net/users/winter/patches/IFF_EVI L. patch

    Enjoy.

    Maybe you should try reading Slashdot instead of bitching ;-)

    You could read Slashdot.org and start bitching about dupes. But that wouldn't be fair, since that one is mentioned four times: 1 2 3 4.
