Re: Release

Once, decades ago, BSD was once, but seperated itself into the three main-distributions: FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD; the most common version nowadays - excuse please - ist FreeBSD. DragonFlyBSD is a derivative of FreeBSD with an unserspace quite different to FreeBSD, lacking the newest kernel and beta-versions called -CURRENT!

And a BSD kernel is the half of Steve Jobbs Apple Macintosh kernel and their base.

I have another silly question: what's the brief difference between NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD?

Thanks for pointing that out.

It was really fast and responsive, small, easy to fit onto the processor -- all from a buddy of mine who worked at Danger in SW. Danger did the App SW, which was also very good. But it was NetBSD under the hood. My buddy showed an early prototype to me at the time, and I was jealous.
