DragonFly BSD Announced
JoshRendlesham writes "Matt Dillon announced today on the freebsd-hackers mailing list the creation of the DragonFly BSD project. It seeks to build on the work of FreeBSD 4.x, including a rewrite of the packaging and distribution system, among other goals."
This is great news. God knows we need another BSD, I don't think anyone is happy that currently we only have FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, TrustedBSD, XMach, Darwin, and Microsoft Windows.

Rule 1: You do not talk about the -AC kernel tree.
RUle 2: You DO NOT talk about the -AC kernel tree.
Rule 3: If it's your first night in the -AC kernel tree, you HAVE to post.
Anonymous Howard, who made a career of proclaiming the demise of the *BSD Operating Systems, was found dead at his keyboard this afternoon. He had just turned 16. An unnamed police spokeswoman said it was an apparent case of "autoerotic asphyxiation gone haywire". [You know the rest of the story.]
That's it. I'm going to mail Daniel Robbins and ask him to make the next in his brilliant series of articles at IBM DeveloperWorks a "OS advocacy for overzealous Gentoo freaks" piece.
The first and most important bit: Always bring up Gentoo whenever ANYONE mentions ANY other operating system! This is of UTMOST importance! Just like annoying potential customers works for Internet advertisers, annoying potential users must work for OS advocates!
Longhorn would kick ass if they installed unwanted software using PORTAGE instead of Windows Update!!!!! PR0T4G3 R0XX0RZ J00R B0XX0RS!
I'm going to be burned at the stake for this, but don't worry, my karma ensures that I'll be back as a lotus blossom to annoy all you bloody geeks with pollen.
