DragonFly BSD
DragonFly BSD was forked from FreeBSD 4.8 in June of 2003, by Matthew Dillon. The project is "the logical continuation of the FreeBSD 4.x series", as quoted in Matthew Dillon's announcement.
DragonFly has been going through rapid development ever since, working towards the goal of creating a single system image across multiple computers. In the process of moving towards this goal, improvements to the code have been made and changes from other BSDs have been brought in.
Further information on the project goals and status are available on this website, and discussion of the project is possible on a variety of newsgroups and mailing lists.
Matthew Dillonis known for creating the DICE C compiler on the Amiga, and later co-founding BEST Internet in San Francisco. Matt has alsocontributed code to the FreeBSD project and the Linux kernel forsystems such as VM and NFS.
Matt is the founder of the DragonFly BSD project. Matt is also the principal code contributor to DragonFly, and supports the website and other online resources for this project. He has been working on or completed DragonFly projects such as variant symlinks, MPIPE, the slab allocator, the namecache, LWKT, the 'live CD', AMD64 work, and much more, including coordination on projects other contributors have submitted.
