The Big BSD Interview

Contributed by Dengue on from the three-sisters dept.

Eugenia writes : "Matt Dillon, the kernel/VM FreeBSD hacker gives an in-depth interview to OSNews about everything regarding FreeBSD 5.0 , the next big BSD release shceduled for 3rd quarter of 2002. This is the OS that all the techie people are waiting for and presenting it as the most advanced, technically-speaking, Unix ever made. Additionally, they also include two mini interviews with Theo de Raadt, the OpenBSD founder, and Jun-ichiro "itojun" Hagino from the NetBSD Core Team."

Of interest are the comments about cross-project collaboration, and Theo's evolution vs. revolution statements.

      Hi,

      You have basicly a valid point. But if you'd like
      to reach a broader audience, you might want to
      reconsider your choice of words (-:

      Very insightful commentary. Anonymous Cowardon's analysis of the article gave me pause to think. Truly an eye-opening revelation.

      Seriously, why does anyone take the time to post responses like this? I guess there was a day off at the middle school.

        Actually, I believe most schools in America did have a day of today. Not a coincidence, I guess.

      Why is it a "piece of shit" interview? Because FreeBSD has the bulk of it?

      If OpenBSD so l33t, then fire up Netcraft and show me how many major security sites are actually using it! Nevermind, I'll save you the trouble....

      1) atstake.com - FreeBSD
      2) antioffline.com - FreeBSD
      3) packetstormsecurity.org - FreeBSD
      4) counterpane.com - Solaris
      5) netflood.net - Linux
      6) astalavista.box.sk - Linux
      7) neworder.box.sk - Linux
      8) astalavista.com - Win2k
      9) securityfocus.com - Linux
      10) cryptome.org - Soalris
      11) www.ccc.de - OpenBSD/NetBSD (even though FreeBSD logo is on their site)

      12) defcon.org - NT4
      13) infosyssec.com - NT4
      14) cipherwar.com - Linux
      15) secureroot.com - Linux
      16) 2600.com - FreeBSD

      It was the first piece that I have read that tried to get All three BSDs (I know there may be more (pico, trusted, whatever) in the same article. It did a very god job of making all three of them look good. I still will not ever use FreeBSD ever again in my life :), but it is nice to hear about what is being done with it.

      Also, look at it this way. When was the last time you read something about Theo? Good or Bad :) Any media coverage on NetBSD, or OpenBSD is good.

      There were questions I would liked to have asked. Oh, well, maybe someday I will be able.

        You're in luck, i just happen to know of a web-based openbsd discussion forum that would be perfect for your questions for theo :]

        given that this is the openbsd journal, i'd be interested in hearing what your questions are, feel free to share.

          Let me rephase in a manner which is suited for an OpenBSD web-based disussion forum. I will post them here in a few days.
