Interview with Kris Moore, PC-BSD

,----[ Quote ]
| DW: From what I've read, PC-BSD makes a strong 
| effort to add to the underlying FreeBSD 
| operating system without changing the base. Are 
| there any parts of FreeBSD you do have to 
| change and what effect does this have on the 
| system?
| 
| KM: We've actually done a very good job at 
| keeping as vanilla of a FreeBSD base as 
| possible. With PC-BSD 8.0, the only differences 
| are a few extra kernel configuration options, 
| such as "atapicam" support to enable CD/DVD 
| burning and options to enable some specific 
| "pf" firewall features.
| 
| DW: Could you please explain the relationship 
| between PC-BSD and iXsystems? Do they 
| own/control the project?
| 
| KM: iXsystems owns the trademark "PC-BSD", and 
| greatly assists it by funding some of its 
| development, along with promotion and support. 
| The project itself is open source, of course. 
| All our code is BSD licensed and freely 
| available.

Health Check: FreeBSD - "The unknown giant"

,----[ Quote ]
| FreeBSD is the most accessible and popular of
| the BSDs, has code at the heart of Darwin and
| Apple's OS X, and has powered some of the more
| successful sites on the Web, including
| Hotmail, Netcraft and Yahoo!, which before the
| rise of Google was the busiest site on the
| internet.
