Jeez, I go away for a few days and the whole world changes! Well, maybe it hasn't, but still, it is interesting news that iXsystems has "acquired" PC-BSD, my currently installed FreeBSD version. I guess objectively speaking, it should be good news, and has already paid off by making Kris Moore, the brains behind PC-BSD, a full time PC-BSD worker, which can only mean good things. But there are so many ways this could go wrong it is scary. I hope it remains the vibrant, user-supported FreeBSD variation that attracted me to it in the first place.
Here is a link to a long thread about it in the PC-BSD forums: PC-BSD Forum :: iXsystems and PC-BSD
Here's the official announcement: iXsystems Announces Acquisition of PC-BSD Operating System
