We chose _SmartOS_, a distribution of illumos -- itself a fork of the last drop of OpenSolaris before Oracle closed the gate. It is emphatically not a BSD, though Solaris has included aspects of at least AT&T UNIX and BSD (amongst other things) in its long and rich heritage.
- dmourati 11y agoThanks for the correction. I should have gotten that right. I don't think the talk mentioned Illumos at all. EDIT: he did mention Illumos but he was talking really fast.
- RantyDave 11y agoI'm starting to totally love SmartOS. Kudos to you and colleagues.
