NetBSD Summer of Code Summary

Posted by Hemos on from the making-thins-run-better dept.

UltimaGuy writes "The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce the results of its participation in Google's "Summer of Code". After Google announced this program to introduce students to the world of open source software development at the beginning of June, the NetBSD Project was happy to join the approximately 40 other open source groups as a mentoring organization and compiled a list of suggested projects. I personally think the Project tmpfs: Efficient memory file-system as the most successful one."

    The new rc.d system is equally sysadmin-friendly as the SysV equivalent. FreeBSD adopted it as well.
