“Hands-on Help Time” from 6:30pm til 7pm, BLUG/LFNW & Linux News,

“Hands-on Help Time”:
Starting at 6:30pm, 1/2 hour prior to the regular 7pm start time,
BLUG offers hands-on help for anyone with a Linux issue.
Bring your computer and let the BLUG folks give you a hand.
“Presentation”:
By Joshua Drake “Debian/kFreeBSD”
– Why kFreeBSD is good for the ecosystem (competition fuels open
source projects, encourages writing of platform-independent glibc code)
– glibc + GNU userspace = familiar environment for the Linux user,
with the benefit of some cool BSD kernel features
* pf vs iptables (readability, speed+statefulness, extensibility)
* ZFS vs LVM (ZFS send/receive and upgrades, RAID effectiveness)
* jails vs linux solutions like linux containers and UML (one tool
included in the kernel vs a conglomeration of many)
Some other cool kFreeBSD tricks:
– Linux compat layer – Maybe include a demo of a Squeeze i386 Linux
system running in a jail and what this could mean for the future
– Static FreeBSD binaries can run in a kFreeBSD system (useful when
Debian is run within a jail)
A demo / showcase of what jessie-kfreebsd can do already:
– minetest, openarena, and sauerbraten all in the repos and functioning
– WebGL stuff works on IceWeasel (from sid):
