About the show

Created by three guys who love BSD, we cover the latest news and have an extensive series of tutorials, as well as interviews with various people from all areas of the BSD community. It also serves as a platform for support and questions. We love and advocate FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD and TrueOS. Our show aims to be helpful and informative for new users that want to learn about them, but still be entertaining for the people who are already pros. The show airs on Wednesdays at 2:00PM (US Eastern time) and the edited version is usually up the following day.

Feedback/Questions Listener Feedback - Dan Hi, Shortly before the release of episode 623 (where dlg was interviewed). He was interviewed by UQCS on a show called the router. Its a very good interview with very little overlap with your interview (basically, just the how did you get into openbsd question). The interviewer did a great job (a student), and DLG gave a ton of really interesting back to basics information (some of which might be too basic, but the way dlg talks about it makes it very interesting). He also gives a 5 minute introduction to basic packets explained. I think BSDnow fans would appreciate it. Also, he raves about dragonflybsd, so you can continue the gag.

And it has been great - 3 or 4 logins later and I'm reading a motd message by Benedict himself! I need to learn a few things, but these arethe things I expected would need a bit of reading - the handbook has mostly got me there, plus google etc. I am happy with FreeBSD and with Linus recently going off on one about Welcoming AI, after allowing an unfinished file system (bcashfs) into production, to name just 2 reasons for a change, I was thinking..
