IRC Forum with Matthew Dillon of DragonFly BSD
weebl writes "Thursday October 9th at 6:00PM PDT (9PM EDT/1AM GMT) SlashNET's #forum channel will be hosting a Q&A session with Matthew Dillon of the DragonFly BSD Project. This is your opportunity to ask about DragonFly BSD, BSD in general, or any other questions you might have for him.
DragonFly BSD was first announced this past July." If you can't make it to the forum, SlashNET will have a bot running earlier in the day for question submissions, and logs available afterward.
Its the truth and you know it. Hope you've got $699 sitting around.
Please? I'm fp. Does that count for anything?

"Do not stand at my hard disk and forever weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you reboot in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my hard disk and forever cry.
I am not there. "
Bring on the yankees baby!!!

"Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?"
His contributions to FreeBSD will be missed.
I'm sure I represent a large portion of the community who greatly appreciated his work on the VM subsystem (he even pointed the Linux folks in the right direction on more than one occassion), and am disappointed to see him leaving the project.
I understand that not everyone gets along, that goals differ between members; it's just a shame to see it happen.

I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you DragonFly BSD fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a DragonFly BSD box (a PIII 800 w/512 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this DragonFly BSD box, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even Emacs Lite is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various DragonFly BSD machines, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a DragonFly BSD box that has run faster than its Windows counterpart, despite the DragonFly BSD machines faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 800 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that DragonFly BSD is a "superior" machine.
DragonFly BSD addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a DragonFly BSD over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
Even though I run only Win2kPro can I still join the chat? I want to persuade ppl to switch from BSD to Win32.
Didn't you get the memo?
If all this should have a reason, we would be the last to know.
I was just doing some gardening and it bit me on the back of the hand.
I don't want to use any operating system that reminds me of that traumatic experience.
I liked Dillon in Footloose, though.

The Failure of *BSD
Of course we can all agree that BSD is a failure, but why did BSD fail Once you get past the fact that BSD is fragmented between a myriad of incompatible kernels, there is the historical record of failure and of failed operating systems. BSD experienced moderate success about 15 years ago in academic circles. Since then it has been in steady decline. We all know BSD keeps losing market share but why Is it the problematic personalities of many of the key players Or is it larger than their troubled personalities
The record is clear on one thing no operating system has ever come back from the grave. Efforts to resuscitate BSD are one step away from spiritualists wishing to communicate with the dead. As the situation grows more desperate for the adherents of this doomed OS, the sorrow takes hold. An unremitting gloom hangs like a death shroud over a once hopeful BSD community. The hope is gone; a mournful nostalgia has settled in. Now is the end time for BSD.
What We Can Learn From BSD
By Chinese Karma Whore, Version 1.0
Everyone knows about BSD's failure and imminent demise. As we pore over the history of BSD, we'll uncover a story of fatal mistakes, poor priorities, and personal rivalry, and we'll learn what mistakes to avoid so as to save Linux from a similarly grisly fate.
Let's not be overly morbid and give BSD credit for its early successes. In the 1970s, Ken Thompson and Bill Joy both made significant contributions to the computing world on the BSD platform. In the 80s, DARPA saw BSD as the premiere open platform, and, after initial successes with the 4.1BSD product, gave the BSD company a 2 year contract.
These early triumphs would soon be forgotten in a series of internal conflicts that would mar BSD's progress. In 1992, AT&T filed suit against Berkeley Software, claiming that proprietary code agreements had been haphazardly violated. In the same year, BSD filed countersuit, reciprocating bad intentions and fueling internal rivalry. While AT&T and Berkeley Software lawyers battled in court, lead developers of various BSD distributions quarreled on Usenet. In 1995, Theo de Raadt, one of the founders of the NetBSD project, formed his own rival distribution, OpenBSD, as the result of a quarrel that he documents on his website. Mr. de Raadt's stubborn arrogance was later seen in his clash with Darren Reed, which resulted in the expulsion of IPF from the OpenBSD distribution.
As personal rivalries took precedence over a quality product, BSD's codebase became worse and worse. As we all know, incompatibilities between each BSD distribution make code sharing an arduous task. Research conducted at MIT found BSD's filesystem implementation to be "very poorly performing." Even BSD's acclaimed TCP/IP stack has lagged behind, according to this study.
Problems with BSD's codebase were compounded by fundamental flaws in the BSD design approach. As argued by Eric Raymond in his watershed essay, The Cathedral and the Bazaar, rapid, decentralized development models are inherently superior to slow, centralized ones in software development. BSD developers never heeded Mr. Raymond's lesson and insisted that centralized models lead to 'cleaner code.' Don't believe their hype - BSD's development model has significantly impaired its progress. Any achievements that BSD managed to make were nullified by the BSD license, which allows corporations and coders alike to reap profits without reciprocating the goodwill of open-source. Fortunately, Linux is not prone to this exploitation, as it is licensed under the GPL.
The failure of BSD culminated in the resignation of Jordan Hubbard and Michael Smith from the FreeBSD core team. They both believed that FreeBSD had long lost its earlier vitality. Like an empire in decline, BSD had become bureaucratic and stagnant. As Linux gains market share and as BSD sinks deeper into the mire of decay, their parting addresses will resound as fitting eulogies to BSD's demise.
about the future of *BSD and its imminent death.
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
Fact: *BSD is dying
This will be a good chance to find out what DragonFly BSD will be standing for.
We all know the 3 main (free) BSDs have their focuses, namely:
FreeBSD: ease-of-use and i386 platform (plus a few others)
NetBSD: portability
OpenBSD: security, plus some focus on ease-of-use
and then there are a few other minors, and Mac OS X
But the question is, what is DragonFly BSD's focus? What will it offer for us? How will it be useful?
Perhaps we'll learn at this chat session.
It is common knowledge that *BSD is dying. Nearly everyone is aware that ever hapless *BSD is mired in an irrecoverable and mortifying tangle of fatal trouble. It is perhaps anybody's guess as to which *BSD is the worst off of an admittedly suffering *BSD community. The numbers continue to decline for *BSD but FreeBSD may be hurting the most. Look at the numbers. The erosion of user base for FreeBSD continues in a head spinning downward spiral.

All major marketing surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among hobbyist dilettante dabblers. In truth, for all practical purposes *BSD is already dead. It is a dead man walking.
Fact: *BSD is dying
If I am a happy Linux or BSD (of some non-Dragonfly kind), then what would you say to entice me to switch? In other words, what do you think Dragonfly is particularly good at, that maybe is lacking elsewhere?

Fact: *BSD is dying
"You see, even though I have never contributed code to any BSD project, I thought it was my duty to be a big asshole to others which don't use the OS I do, because it just 0wnz.", said one FreeBSD user. "Now that I know it sux0rs, though, I have to go find something else to be an asshole about."
One notorious OpenBSD fanatic known as WideOpen, told reporters, "I have to kill myself. This isn't how it was supposed to happen. My BSD has always been the best, and shouting that opinion in other people's faces at every chance I got has been my only hobby. It was all I ever did. It was what got me out of bed in the morning. Now I have to die. I will jam my bedpost up my ass until I hit my brain. It is the only way to go: BSD style."
In the volatile world of operating systems anything can happen. "At least we don't sux0r as much as Windows users", BigAzz, a relatively well-known NetBSD user said. "Screaming things in people's faces is my calling. Now I need to scream that BSD sux0rs. What a sad world. At least I won't kill myself like those uber-asshole OpenBSD guys. They are just way over the top. Or were, at least."
Nobody knows for sure what the future holds for the state of operating systems, but with Netcraft confirming the sux0r status, *BSD users all over the world will have to stick something else up their asses from now on or risk looking even more gay than they used to.
Elegy For *BSD

Each day I wake and softly sob
Nightfall finds me crying
Not only am I a zit faced slob
but *BSD is dying.

Matt Dillon deserves absoluetely no pitty. His outrageous immaturity justified the revocation of his commit bit 1000 times over. Shame on you for painting him to be some kind of victim.

Since this guy shares the name with that actor, I remembered the name. Is this the same Matt Dillon who is responsible for dcron on my Gentoo system?

BSD is really bad, but it is supported and developed by idiots, and doesn't have enough protection of our Freedom, and is just absolutely unfriendly to users.
It's going to the scrapheap of history, along with SCO.

PS It's WinXP Professional, no service packs installed.
As soon as I saw Matt Dillon's name associated with BSD, I got really excited. I mean, who knew that the ol' gunslinger Marshal Matt Dillon became a programmer?
Then, I realized I must have been thinking about the wrong Matt Dillon, but I still thought it was weird that the guy from There's Something About Mary became involved in a BSD project.
Finally I remembered the other Matt Dillon who developed the DICE C compiler for the Amiga back in the good old days.

For some reason, nobody ever bothers to mention where the logs of the Slashdot IRC forums get posted. After the IRC interview with CmdrTaco and Hemos a few months ago, it took me some digging to figure out where the log wound up.
For those who can't make the chat, the log will eventually be at http://www.slashnet.org/forums/
Editors: After the chat is over, any chance of having the log URL linked to the story text as an update?

Or better yet fooling the irc admins into thinking its a DDOS attack.
Wouldn't it be easier to use the handy slashdot moderation? I think CmdTaco would be willing to hand him 30 of the most highly rated questions.

Is there a way to extract individual files from a tar archive without preserving the directory structure? I want something similar to unzip(1)'s command line modifier -j. This junks a file's archive path, and allows unzipping into the current directory.
I mean, who gives a fuck? These tools (Slashnet et al) are half-assed hack artists whose so-called contributions to modern computing are nothing more than fap-fodder for losers who can't find a way to make friends, create accomplishments, and so on.
Fuck the chat logs. What's the matter with you? Go outside and get some fresh air. Ride a bike. Make a cake. Whatever... get away from your idiot box (and I don't mean the television).

you'll ruin everything! don't you see!
Well you know you can't argue with facts. FACT: BSD is dying.
But what's your point? I don't see how BSD dying impacts upon what any of the BSDs can do right now... works fine.
You're dying too, right? But you're still puttering along?
The Apple versus The Orange
Apple: Comes in colors, Red, Green, Yellow.
Orange: Only Yellow.
Apple: Supports number of packaging formats such as pie, juice, caramel.
Orange: Dramaticaly less number of packaging fomrats supported
Apple: Rarely a perfect sphere
Orange: Most of the time a perfect sphere, average orange can be represented with the following equation x^2+y^2+z^2=4
Now, As you can see, Orange clearly is THE choice.

Is there some special reason why *BSD submissions always get trolled? Look at how many comments are below 1 on a regular story, then check the *BSD stories. It seems to be especially obvious when it comes to DragonflyBSD. I don't understand what Matthew or anyone else has done to warrant this kind of reaction. /., but please explain. What the fsck is up?

It is official; Netcraft now confirms: *BSD is growing
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Windows community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has risen yet again, now up to more than 30 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has gained more market share , this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is sending other OSes into complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by topping the charts in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Daemon to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a long and prosperous future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Linux because *BSD is growing. Things are looking very good for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to gain market share. Red ink flows from RedHat like a river of blood.
FreeBSD is the most loved of them all, having gained 93% more core developers. The sudden and pleasant release of the long developed 5.0 only serves to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is growing.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 70000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 70000/5 = 14000 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 7000 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (70000+14000+7000)*4 = 364000 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the release of OSX, cool new technologies and so on, FreeBSD is expanding into more desktops than ever. FreeBSD has become more than the sum of its parts.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily gained in market share. *BSD is very powerful and its long term survival prospects are very bright. If Windows is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to improve. The progress achieved is nothing short of a miracle. For all practical purposes, *BSD is alive and kicking.
Fact: *BSD will kick your ass

Every gay Linux user must attend the IRC chat, greased Yoda dolls in hand. Let's show those BSD folks how to properly grease our own assholes! This is meant as a peaceful protest by the Gay Linux Ass'in of America!Don't have a Yoda doll? Use the Linux penguin! That's even gayer than Yoda and greases up just fine. Why is "Tux" so fat? Because everyone "Tucks" their dick into its asshole and rams it full of cum. Linux fanboys all around the world line up with their greased dicks just waiting for a chance to drop their trousers and then tuck their peckers into Tux.

shoved ever so tightly in,
Linux user screams.

Linux user's hole.
Grease. Stuffed Yoda doll. Your asshole.
Any questions?
wank with greased Linux fanboys.
Yoda smells funny.
Tux lies prone on ground.
Daemon stands overtop him.
Grease pours from Tux-hole.
- While you received great reviews for Rumblefish, you followed that up with a role in The Flamingo Kid. Do you think TFK was the reason for a downturn in your career and will "Employee of the Month" revive it?
- Better to work with: Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz, Neve Campbell, or Bronson Pinchot?
Thanks, I'll take my answers off the air.Keep your pedantic legalisms up your ass where you keep strangers' cocks.

It's really simple, Linux sux so badly that they have to troll BSD. If they had a quality product in Linux then they would have actual factual arguments against BSD. Instead they act like big babies because Linux is used by big baby blockheads and Slashdot attracts those big baby blockhead Linux users and they troll BSD. Simple, no?
I, for one, welcome our new zombie BSD overlords
Did you see what that overweight monster did to this article's comments? Jesus... he took a flamethrower called "Overrated" to this place. Nice work. Apply the same impetus to a diet!
It seems to me that your SMP (Symmetric) kernel could just as easily (with a kernel module or something) become AMP (Asymmetric): creating one class of thread on a particular class of processor. What I mean is the loader would create an executable main memory thread/object tagged for a DSP or a x86 or an AMD64 or PPC processor, and the kernel would be able to execute these tagged objects on specific processors on expansion cards or a remote host or a FC WWPN target or such craziness..
