Why iXsystems bought PC-BSD (NewsForge)
[Posted October 13, 2006 by ris]
NewsForge
covers
the acquisition of PC-BSD by iXsystems. "
PC-BSD is a
desktop-oriented distribution that masks the stability of the FreeBSD
kernel behind an easy-to-use package. Its graphical system installer and
point-and-click PBI package management system have been drawing in users
who've never tried a BSD-based operating system before. This week the
project was acquired by iXsystems, a high-end enterprise hardware solution
provider. While the community is expressing skepticism of the move, the
developers of PC-BSD and iXsystems both say that this partnership can only
take the distribution forward."
