A week of travel didn’t get in the way of links! RSS feeds are still fantastic tools for those who know how to use them.

See Michael W. Lucas talk about BSD, several places.

BSDNow 157: ZFS, The “Universal” File-system

I’m a day late posting this because of travel, but: BSDNow 157 has an interview with Richard Yao about ZFS (on Linux?), and more story links. I found the “NetFlix and Fill” article link interesting – those are BSD appliances they are talking about that eat so much of the Internet’s traffic.
