I think they are also helping a lot with the LLVM project. Both Apple software and other projects from FreeBSD are not very found of the idea of using a GPLv3 GCC compiler. Both systems are stuck on GCC 4.2 (latest version under the GPLv2?) but CLANG/LLVM is quite functional and I already can build FreeBSD 9 kernel, world and most ports I've tested using it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but without a magnetic field or a massive gravity, a planet can't prevent the hydrogen atoms from escaping its orbit. Both Mars and Venus can't have water because of that factor.
I am more interested about this snappy feature. Does this work like Solaris beadm? If so, combining their Xen 4.1 system and the btrfs capabilities I might be tempted to think about implementing some OpenSuSE domain0 test servers. I am highly disappointed with the state of Xen 4 on Debian Squeeze.
I would not recommend using such method for servers, but workstation deployment can use a prepared image through sysprep.
Thanks a linux-based open source project called Fog our team now can install and reinstall several types of workstations through a web interface. The project also includes an agent that can be useful to automate OS reinstalls.
I've seen quite a few mid-sized companies storing passwords on pure ldap and controlling access through LDAP ACLs allowing only the admin to see the userPassword field besides its owner. You can consult everything else anonymously. Thats pretty common on smbldap-tools and some samba domains managed by SuSE YaST that I've met.
It can't hold water because Mars doesn't have decent magnetic field. Without it a planet not massive enough to retain hydrogen atoms through gravity will lose all its water (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming_of_Mars#Magnetic_field_and_solar_radiation).
I don't know about water located bellow a planet's surface but I think the planet's crust can retain its hydrogen from escaping and protect from solar wind. I'm not an expert so I'm not sure.
Not sure about what they mean with multi arch. Should it be like Mac OS X and its use of fat Mach-o binaries? I think something alike can be implemented on Linux through the use of FatELF. That is, the same binary can run on every supported arch.
I'm quite fond of my osol iSCSI target. COMSTAR seems quite superior than any other iscsi target I've meddled.
Anyway whith FreeBSD can handle Samba and ZFS. I'd also pick it over osol but I had problems with istgt at the time... and we dropped when the only decent documentation about it was in japanese.
Everything would be so much better if everyone in the world talked LDAP,Kerberos and NFS for file sharing. In fact, Linux, OS X and pretty much every *nix out there is quite good at it.
The decision to release OS10.7, or Lion, for download only is hardly going to endear Apple to IT managers who need to conserve network resources.
You only need to download it once. There is a dmg image inside the application package that can be burned to physical media and/or used to perform a clean install.
Xen 4.0.0 is the first version to support VGA graphics adapter passthrough to Xen HVM (fully virtualized) guests. This means you can give HVM guest full and direct control of the graphics adapter, making it possible to have high performance full 3D and video acceleration in a virtual machine.
Running it as a home router on an Intel Atom mini-itx motherboard. It recognized a Tenda (forgot the real model) N-150 wireless device and I was able to quickly put it to use on WPA2 with just ifconfig and wpa-psk to convert the key to a hex. No need for cheesy software.
Its also running its rootfs on a 2gb usb card (mutable stuff such as/var/log is running on mfs (memory file system). OpenBSD is fantastic for the job.
Well... I wish I could play my FLAC files in my iPod Touch without having to convert them to mp3 or aac. Seriously, why the hell Apple still refuses to add FLAC support for iTunes and iOS? Thats just silly.
You misunderstood. Its not ZFS, its using a weekly build of the ZFS driver on file servers that parent suggested.
The current 13-15ish implementations of ZFS used on Osol and FreeBSD are decently stable.
I would have no reason to use ZFS on anything other than a file or NAS server. I don't think its worth the risk unless maybe for the deduplication feature on a backup server (while maintaining periodic backups on removable media).
Speaking of ZFS I'm very interested on checking those NFSv4 ACL modules for Samba. From what I heard you could have Windows-like acl editing (from the user workstation) on a samba server running shares on zfs.
Just to reiterate. ZFS+FreeBSD NAS solution works fine on FreeNAS. I don't know what the hell happened on that system to present such a terrible performance. Maybe it was my mistake configuring istgt (because local disk performance seemed fine) but the point is that having a very impressive system like COMSTAR ready in some minutes was a big point towards Osol on that project.
I had some abysmal performance issues while testing 8.1-RELEASE and their istgt iSCSI implementation. Tests with dd and crystalreports reported something like 4.1mb/s read and write speed on a dedicated gigabit switch.
Needed an iSCSI+ZFS solution, so a guy on IRC recomended me OpenSolaris+COMSTAR. I had a NAS server up and running 15 minutes after completing the OpenSolaris default installation. Very good performance (went 150-200 mb/s using the same hardware), easy to use and admin. A shame what Oracle is doing with Osol.

This document explains a bit about the process: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/physics/astrocourses/AST101/readings/water_on_venus.html. It cites the abnormal ratio between hydrogen and deuterium compared to earth leading to the conclusion that the planet lost most of its hydrogen to solar wind particles.
"differentiate itself from Apple, which famously restricts open source-licensed apps from being sold in its iOS and Mac App Stores."
I've downloaded open source software such as mplayerX and growl from the mac app store.

ZFS send and receive commands are very good to keep those snapshots on another location.

I have no problems running Windows 2003 HVMs on a "pure" Xen setup. They even have GPL PV drivers.

The interesting part is how the discussion was changed to legal age and pedophilia.

Because of XNU's Mach-o fat binaries. Linux and therefore Android uses ELF right?

It uses ksh, not bash. Alternatively, if you like shell functionality "set -o vi" it will blow your mind.

Used to avoid such problems by building RPM's of compiled sources. It's also great to keep track of installed from sources stuff.
