Familiar faces

Hello Malaysia!

Rafe and Ritz from MSC Malaysia Open Source Conference

LinuxFund After-Party

Our friends from BSD/LinuxFund had an after-party at Barracuda complete with VIP for their sponsors iXsystems, Rackspace, and MindTouch.

Denise, Jakob, and Me

We hung out with Jakob from Drupal / LinuxFest NW and drank for free (as in beer), thanks iX! The DJ was spinning all night everyone had a great time!

iXsystems Everywhere!

Too Much Metal for BSD :D

We hung out with Seth Fulton of the OpenBSD Project and had some beerz and champagne.  Rumor has it there may be Blowfish sightings at LISA this year, too…

BryanBSD

This BSD fanatic always had Beastie close to his heart!

Clever advertising...

It’s what you don’t say that counts.

iXsystems Donation Server

BSD/LinuxFund raffled the iXsystems server and Paul Ebersman of ISC won it!   Congratulations!!

    Great pix, James! Haha, that’s ironic that ISC, a customer of iX, won the server! PERFECT ;)

    I would have to completely disagree with what you say how good PC-BSD is. And for the record, I do not use Linux, I do not have Linux installed on any systems. With the code they develop on top of FreeBSD for PC-BSD has consistency issue, and just don’t think they pay close enough attention to code correctness, I think it gets sluggish. Although my first choice is always to use OpenBSD on everything, I have set up FreeBSD as a desktop system. All I do is select minimal install, populate ports and source, patch the system, compile KDE4 from ports, and I find everything runs better and quicker that way. Once Firefox has been compiled from ports, I have seen it load instantaneously when you select it from KMenu. With PCBSD being developed for people who don’t know any tech stuff, and their own lack of proper auditing of code in the manner of say OpenBSD, I see definite performance issues, and some speed issues. I think it just gets bogged down. So that is why I would definitely disagree with what you say about how good PC-BSD is.
