BSD guru to guide Apple on Unix http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/main_news.cfm?NewsID=3092 By Macworld (UK) staff Tuesday, June 26, 2001 Apple (http://www.apple.com/) has recruited FreeBSD founder Jordan Hubbard to its team, in a bid to steer its Mac OS X BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) efforts. In a letter circulating within the FreeBSD community, Hubbard announced his plans to head-up this work for Apple. Primarily interested in Mac OS X and its BSD sub-system, he will also help develop Darwin. FreeBSD is the flavour of Unix chosen by Apple to act as the core of Mac OS X. BSD (http://www.bsd.org/) is an open-source UNIX resource for users of the various commercial and freely-available BSD operating systems. "Those who've been following my writings about, and enthusiasm for, OS X lately won't be surprised by my going to work for Apple," Hubbard said. "OS X has finally managed to achieve the Holy Grail of the Unix community - a powerful Unix core [BSD] combined with a usable desktop, graphical user-interface development tools and real applications, without sacrificing access to Unix's underlying features." Until recently, Hubbard was principal technologist at Wind River Systems. He also co-founded the FreeBSD project, and will continue to work with that project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-www" in the body of the message
