That is interesting. I would like to hear more about jails and how they compare to containers on linux. This is the first time I’ve heard about nomad and I would like to here more. That the whole thing integrates with ZFS is news to me too.
It is sort of sad but BSD is bad at publishing news and tutorials. I wish there was something like lwn and the slew of endless tutorials to keep me up to date with what is going on in the BSD world. There is so little information or it is so hard to find for somebody in the Mac and Linux world that it might as well not exist at all.
And the thing is, if you “dev” on Mac or Linux and “deploy” on Linux, like a lot of us, you are a *NIX head and are interested in hearing what is new in the BSDs.
Yea, I know of undeadly and read it off and on, freebsdnews too. I stoped reading undeadly a while ago when they had a rather long lull in publishing. From a post further down I take it freebsdnews has the same problem. I fallow DragonflyBSD off and on, since it is the BSD that interests me the most and they to suck at publishing info. I get more info out of a release note about whats changed than by fallowing DragonflyBSD Digest or reading the mailing list archives.
And publishing some books about the BSDs doesn’t really count as “tutorials”.
I don’t think you are getting my point. The comment I respondet to wasn’t just interesting, it gave me a reason to care about FreeBSD and maybe a reason to read freebsdnews and give FreeBSD a try. You need a place where people from outside of your communities can go to get informed enough to actually care enough to install a specific BSD and start reading their news digest.
