FreeBSD : Articles : Understanding NFS
Posted: ( Wed 20th Feb 2002 06:57:44[AM] UTC )
We\'ve discussed sharing filesystems via SMB a few times. SMB lets you access files shared by a Windows system after jumping through only half a dozen loops. Sharing files with another Unix system is much, much simpler. FreeBSD supports the Unix standard Network File System out of the box. NFS intimidates many junior system administrators, but it\'s really quite simple once you know what\'s going on.

FreeBSD : News : FreeBSD Versus Linux Revisited
Posted: ( Thu 15th Nov 2001 02:07:10[AM] UTC )
Many people say FreeBSD has a very good virtual memory manager. Now, with the new VM engine in Linux as of 2.4.10, things might look different, so I prepared a new test environment for the benchmark.

OpenBSD : Howtos : Routing Windows 2000 IPv6 traffic
Posted: ( Thu 5th Jul 2001 09:39:25[PM] UTC )
Setting up an IPv6 tunnel from a host to a broker was one thing. But I wanted to use IPv6 from my desktop. The dancing KAME was my goal. After years of procrastination, I finally got to see her dance. Here's how.

BSD : Opinions : Is BSD the tortoise?
Posted: ( Sun 1st Jul 2001 06:49:23[PM] UTC )
"I have to wonder whether all the leaps that Linux has made in recent history will wind up being compared against the slow, steady progress of the BSDs. The BSD-based OSes all look to be doing better and better at the moment, even without Linux's marketing fury behind them."

xMach : News : xMach Announces Core Team
Posted: ( Wed 25th Apr 2001 08:08:13[AM] UTC )
Joseph Mallett writes "xMach today announces our brand new Core Team. We've also (finally) added a CVS server, as well as a CVSweb front-end so people can browse the source. Since the first Slashdot post, we've accomplished one of our major goals of being GPL-free (and thus fully BSD License'd), as well as added two mailing lists and fixed the wishlist code. Due to Mach's history with Multiprocessing, we are currently looking more and more and the ideas of distributed processing. The code base is now cleaned up, so that everything should compile out of box. Some of our more abitious goals are to move to a multiserver format, and do a major update of the filesystem interfaces, short term. And unlike the HURD, it's software that's here right now, and isn't vapourware."

xMach : News : Less GPL, Less Bloat
Posted: ( Wed 25th Apr 2001 08:04:04[AM] UTC )
Joseph Mallett writes "We've now removed most (all?) of the GPL code. Also, we've integrated the RTMach Lites code, for better application-level compat with modern operating systems. We've got a few individuals working on porting either FreeBSD or OpenBSD device driver frameworks to xMach so that our native drivers (as the Linux ones are gone) will be wider and varying than the (extremely) limited Mach drivers that we currently have. We're also removing all code not pertinent to Mach4 (i.e. OSFMACH and Mach3) as part of our new 'slogan'(?): Proactively Unbloated. Eventually, non bloat will lead to lessening the amount of code to do certain things, which would hopefully lead to better optimisation. As always, we're looking for people to help, and we'll soon have mailing lists and a CVS server, and possibly a GNATS database."
