Geek Of The Week: Bill Joy
,----[ Quote ]
| After finishing his Bachelors Degree from the
| University of Michigan, and his Masters Degree
| from UC Berkeley, Joy wrote the original BSD
| (Berkeley Software Distribution) UNIX
| operating system. Many modern operating
| systems are based on BSD, including NetBSD,
| OpenBSD, DragonFly, Ultrix, and Mac OS X. In
| addition to BSD, he also wrote VI (Visual text
| editor), NFS (Network File System), and Csh (C
| shell). Yesâ you read that correctlyâ Bill Joy
| wrote the VI editor and the C shell!!! Any
| UNIX-guru is more than familiar with these
| programs. They are still widely-used today.

FreeBSD 7.3 Updates BSD Legacy
,----[ Quote ]
| The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team this
| week put out the FreeBSD 7.3 release which
| is about four months after FreeBSD 8 was
| released.
|
| FreeBSD is known as a solid, stable and
| reliable open source operating system. It
| should come as no surprise then that many
| users of FreeBSD don't jump to the next
| major version number right when it becomes
| available, but rather stay with the legacy
| version for a while.
