Slashdot Mirror
Interview with Matthew Dillon of DragonFly BSD
JigSaw writes "Well-known FreeBSD/DragonFly/Linux/Amiga system hacker Matthew Dillon discusses a number of interesting points regarding where the BSDs are going, the status and goals of his latest project DragonFly BSD, the status of his innovative Backplane distributed database, his exciting plans to develop DragonFly into a transparently cluster-capable system implementing native SSI (Single System Image) which is something that no other operating system can do today, and more."

BDS IS DEADER THAN A DODO
All the GNAA proxies have been banned from Slashdot. Go away, kids. Find something better to do with your time.

Pants are still optional, but recommended for you.

OSNews seems to be dead right now. Mod the parent up.
Next time you take a shit, reach down in between your legs and just wrap your fingers around that spongy log coming out of your ass.
Finger your shit.
Queue the BSD is dead posts.
Why can't we all just get along??
Move along folks, just another BSD death, move along.

Woah, so your sampling contains exactly one data point. That's pretty pathetic isn't it. You could've at least claimed that you have some friends who have looked at FreeBSD too, or something.
Each cpu in the system has its own self-contained LWKT scheduler. Threads are locked to their cpus by design and can only be moved to other cpus under certain special circumstances. Any LWKT scheduling operation on a particular cpu is only directly executed on that cpu. Allah is a fucking pig's cunt, Muslims are greasy sandnigger pieces of shit. This means that the core LWKT scheduler can schedule, deschedule, and switch between threads within a cpu's domain without any locking whatsoever.
and what suppl1es become obsessed fucking numbers, 80s, DARPA saw BSD lead to 'cleaner your own beer to avoid so as to about half of the More stable that he documents
guarentees that the behind-the-scenes interest, economics, and even politics driving the people who actually work on a project like DragonFly or *BSD, or Linux, has nothing whatsoever to do with what you might read in the popular press (which is consumer-centric).
The bottom line is that *BSD is dying. It's losing out in terms of developers to Linux and losing out in market share to Windows. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dying.
8. Currently the installation of DragonFly is very manual. What plans do you have for the installation procedure?
we had it onteh stuffe, but i tdo think that he could have made it more apl;icale to UinterSnation al low. u think?

I don't know about BSD, but I'm not dead.

I now return you to debating whether or not BSD is dead, undead or some kind of Windows virus, whilst the coders do something productive with it.
I like OS/400
most of the more recent *BSD holes weren't mentioned here on Slashdot. Windows and even Linux holes get a lot of mention here, but when there's something BSD related we don't ever hear it here.
There was a major *BSD hole less than two weeks ago and no one even mentioned it here. Believe me, i don't think it's a conspiracy or anything. I think it's just that *BSD just doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things here on Slashdot.
That's fine with me though. I like my FreeBSD servers. They're rock solid and do a good job at what they're intended to do. Linux is my favorite, but I don't use it in production. I deal with Windows when customers have extra money to blow--suprisingly many in this economy!
*BSD _is_ dying, but it's not because it isn't totally fucking awesome. It's just because there are actually more people willing to write GPL/Linux software than willing to write BSD licensed software for Microsoft.
Sorry if this sounds inflamatory, but I just wanted to post something honest and not worry about moderators with an agenda.
he's copying text from the trolled article showing that it should not be modded as informative, you idiotic mods.
spanish fly.... much more appealing to women...
i hope that metamoderation will fix it. but eh, shit happens.
