Download DragonFly BSD 4.8.1

With a BSD operating system, most will think of one of the three variants FreeBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD. However, there are several other BSD versions, such as PC-BSD and DragonFly BSD. The latter is a fork of FreeBSD 4.8, which came into existence around June 2003. This happened because Matthew Dillon, the project leader of DragonFly BSD, at the time disagree was with the chosen development strategy and focus areas of FreeBSD 5. For an overview of the developments since then regarding DragonFly BSD, see this page go through. Version 4.8.1 has recently been released and was released with the following commits:

• sound – Delete devfs clone handler for /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer on unload.
• if_vtnet – Allocate struct vtnet_tx_header entries from a queue.
• Make sure that cam(4)’s dashutdown handler runs before DEVICE_SHUTDOWN().
