Interview With Matt Dillon of DragonFlyBSD

Posted by timothy on from the did-you-always-want-to-be-a-comedian? dept.

animus9 writes "There is an interesting interview with Matt Dillon regarding the current status and future of DragonFlyBSD. In it he compares the difference between serializing tokens and the mutex model (a nice contrast to the previously posted Scott Long SMPng interview). He also describes the work being done in the VFS, along with his plans for Journaling, SSI Clustering, packaging, and more."

  1. BSD most widespread unix variant by Baki · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I don't usually answer AC & trolls, but in this case I have to put something straight.

    Jordan Hubbard resigned mainly (AFAIK) because he was offered a job at Apple, which incorporated FreeBSD in OSX, making the # of UNIX installations in general and *BSD installations in particular a multiple of before in a flash.

    At the moment, including OSX, FreeBSD is by far the most widespread Unix variant.
