BSD Now 303: OpenZFS in Ports

This week’s BSD Now talks a whole lot about ZFS, which is no surprise given the OpenZFS events going on. There’s other news, of course.

SEMIBUG: Matt Parnell – Asterisk+FreePBX on FreeBSD

Matt Parnell is presenting Asterisk and FreePBX on FreeBSD at SEMIBUG’s monthly meeting, tomorrow, in Troy, Michigan. Go, if you are near.

Credit goes to SEMIBUG for creating a Google Calendar which makes it slightly more likely I’ll catch the meeting and post about it. Also, a nostalgia moment about the bad old days: I am so glad specialized hardware is no longer needed just to get on the phone network, since VoIP is widespread these days. I hated dealing with flaky PRI lines.

I have an inexplicably short BSD section this week. Post-BSDCan fatigue? I don’t know, but I have lots on the docket for tomorrow, I promise.

ZFS on APU2; follow the thread for details.
What are the differences between OpenBSD and Linux? (via)
Something that Linux distributions should not do when packaging things. Linked because I’ve seen people pick Linux over a BSD because they assume (wrongly!) that a large commercial Linux distribution would have up to date packages.
For the umpteenth time, help a “*BSD newbie” pick the right operating system.
vmctl(8): command line syntax changed.
fnaify 1.3 released – more games are “fnaify & run” now.
