DragonFly BSD 2.2 Released

Posted by timothy on from the big-essin'-deal dept.

An anonymous reader writes "DragonFly BSD 2.2 is now available. The second release to feature the HAMMER (versioning, among other things) filesystem — now considered production-ready — it includes 'major stability improvements across the board, new drivers, much better pkgsrc support and integration.' Apart from the CD ISO, this release has a DVD ISO with 'a fully operational X environment,' as well as a bootable USB disk-key image."

      Elegy For *BSD

      I am a *BSD user
      and I try hard to be brave
      That is a tall order
      *BSD's foot is in the grave.

      I tap at my toy keyboard
      and whistle a happy tune
      but keeping happy's so hard,
      *BSD died so soon.

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

    Hmmm, 4 posts and it's slashdotted? I hope their server isn't running on BSD, for the sake of its publicity :)

    The second release to feature the HAMMER (versioning, among other things) filesystem

    So what you're saying is that efs2 and ffs/ufs can't touch this.

    HAMMER TIME!

      But I though that "Stop" errors were a Windows feature...

      No, ufs is too legit to quit.

    I wasn't aware Internet ran on MacOSX - I always thought it was mostly Linux and various free *BSD...
