Episode Details

This episode is host to a BSD veteran by the name of Kris Moore. So for the hipsters among you, this trip down memory lane (and more!) explains to where distros such as FreeBSD and friends all come from (to some extend :-). Plus more insights on TrueNAS, why Linux preempted BSD (not only here:-) and long forgotten projects such as GlusterFS, PC-BSD and MacOS. Did I hear you ask: "MacOS?!?!?". Fear not, all will be revealed - just listen to the episode (lame attempt at episode marketing :-).
