Jordan Hubbard - FreeBSD: The Next 10 Years

…od job of rethinking parts of the traditional Unix infrastructure that needed rethinking. Check out JKH's talk about FreeBSD and potential future directions, and see how much that is informed by his experience leading the Unix technologies group at Apple (for the record, JKH was also one of the cofounders of FreeBSD, so he's not exactly a slouch): link to this video I'd say the biggest reasons OSX never took off as a server OS are 1) licensing 2) coupling to Apple hardware 3) most of Apple's value-add is for desktops, laptops, and smaller portables--in other words, not compellingly better than other free nixe…

…aiku commit logs and can point to this : link "* This will be heavily inspired by Apple's launchd, as well as systemd -- for now it really doesn't do a whole lot, though." Note the "as well as" here. link "* This follows systemd design; since those jobs are fixed, it doesn't matter where you maintain them." And as far as FreeBSD is concerned : link to this video (At 27:23) I'm not sure who appears to be more historically and technically-challenged here. In the scope of Linux it is appropriate to call systemd revolutionary. Criticizing the choice of this term only shows how you are reduced to nitpicking word choices. Just like you are reduced to making assumptions about my historical and technical l…

…ything revolves around your feelings. I'm not ignoring the issue you have pointed out, rather It would be nice to hear about nosh. There's significantly more information about launchd than nosh, for example launchd has two videos, explaining the reasoning and methodology for bringing in launchd and the other apple libraries. FreeBSD next 10 years: link to this video NextBSD intro: link A quick search on google and their are no videos about nosh. The nosh website doesn't contain much information about the design of nosh. Looking around the source of nosh the various html files look promising and i'm going through those. Unfortunately my c++ skills are inadequate to judge the code quality of nosh effec…
