    Not that it needs one ;)

    But more proof that BSD is not dead. It gets support from the companies that know what they're doing.

    Just you wait for 5.3-RELEASE!

      And just YOU wait until the VFS system in DragonFly finishes it's top-to-bottom re-write! I have a feeling this new BSD isn't going to be something to sneeze at. I've been following the kernel@ mailing list, and it sounds damn awesome. It's going to be one hell of a beautiful little OS. Let's hope it runs as beautifully as it sounds on paper when all is coded and done.
