Since the next meeting is all about ZFS and I will be bringing my machine running FreeBSD and ZFS on root, and because of the release of FreeBSD 10 (builds have started; I expect there will be an official announcement in the next day or two), I thought I'd give a short talk on FreeBSD if there is some interest. Things I would cover: - Philosophical differences between Linux and the BSDs (mostly design and technical aspects, but I will touch on licensing) - Upgrades/updates to the base system vs. updates/upgrades to third-party software and package management (ports/pkgng) in FreeBSD - Some cool new things in FreeBSD 10 - An overview of the other BSDs - Any questions you may have I'm open to suggestions as well, so let me know if you'd like me to go over anything else.
