Small differences (between ZFS and Btrfs)
ZFS: designed by Sun Microsystems in 2004 for Solaris and FreeBSD, it is porting Linux natively, also includes Mac OS X 10.5 Server.
Supports drives and files of 16 exabytes (16 million terabytes) not reaching the Zettabyte, where its name comes, supports checksum ECC, supports POSIX, supports snapshots and integration with LVM, supports encryption, the highest number of files is February 48, repair itself mirrored disk is RAID 5 and RAID 6, no data is overwritten or references from or metadata, within the units ZFS file systems are created with ease to create directories on NTFS or EXT3.
Any application without any problem associated with this filesystem, then indicated disc 1 and 2 TB.
Video of their characteristics ( in English ) and documents organized in addition to this PDF .
It works fine with the compression algorithm LZJB .
Btrfs: designed by Oracle in 2007 for Linux, supports drives and files of 16 exabytes (16 million terabytes), supports checksum ECC, supports POSIX, supports snapshots of snapshots and integration with LVM, does not support encryption, the highest number of files is 2 64. Some other features unmentionable and repositories of source code.
The three most commonly used BSD
It increases the amount of computational units that are running: this is FreeBSD 8.0-beta4 (1.7 GB) and 64-bit FreeBSD 8.0-beta4 (1.8 GB)
It publishes the latest release of DesktopBSD 1.7 (1.8 GB) and 64-bit DesktopBSD 1.7 (1.9 GB). Its developer and maintainer leaves the fate of the community in pursuit of its components and features, or if you want the destination obsolescence and abandonment. Of its user community depends.
Released the very first second PCBSD8.0-alpha-20090914-x86-DVD (1.84 GB) at 32 bits and the pleasant surprise that the following betas and PC-BSD will be offered at 8 come with installation disk LiveDVD hard. What may lead to new distributions based on the set of packages. Pbi and no restrictions from iXsystems and no involvement of Canonical, or Oracle (which is being blocked by the EU as phagocytosis of Sun) or Red Hat. Stone free for members of the international community can. For the BSD license does not dare block our code.
Comparative proportionality * BSD
BSD systems used with users and monitor servers that are left are in * BSDstats Project . Two-thirds of all they are carrying the bsd of PcBsdInstaller and current PC-BSD 7.1.1 Galileo followed by a FreeBSD 8 beta on the rise.
It is curious that the latest version of the IDE integrated, robust, multi-platform open source for application development, Eclipse 3.5 has also been called Galileo.
Unix BSD, Darwin Unix, Unix Solaris
DistroWatch.com estimated the occurrence of FreeBSD 8.0 for mid / late August 2009, no performance improvements are anticipated as remarkable as the output of FreeBSD 7 in late 2007 although they are incorporating additives (compiler LLVM / CLANG, USB stack , ULE scheduler 3.0, ARM support, virtual WiFi, optimized for Core i7, jails v2) to the new product.
On the other hand ask anyone who knows in Cupertino or the rest of the web over the face of the earth if one day Darwin ( PureDarwin and in tune with GRUB2 ) Coreserver incorporated as the familiar and well-built FreeBSD 7 or 8, with the output of I guess Darwin Snow Leopard release 10, but is not there more recent work sponsored by FreeBSD Foundation .
Finally anoticiado that OpenSolaris has already been ported to ARM cores will now runs beyond Windows Mobile, iPhone OS 3, Ubuntu and Android for Intel Atom ¿quagmire and Via Nano? Back can come to know more systems that run VirtualBox.
PC-BSD 7.1 "Galileo" βeta1
... And it's even faster beta including: KDE 4.2.1, Xorg 7.4, NVIDIA 180.35 driver. KDE SDK 4.2.1, Wine 1.1.6 PBI, PBI Gimp 2.6.5, OpenOffice 2.4.2 PBI Opera 9.63 PBI, VLC 0.9.8a PBI FreeBSD Ports Tree (the PCBSD ports are now installed to / PCBSD / local) FreeBSD System and Source are optional software versions on DVD as reported by iXsystems.

OpenSuSE Thin Client
There are also a similar development in PC-BSD , Novell reimplement the concept client / server (Linux Terminal Server Project GNU) to have reduced hardware operating system features to NetWare network. Innovation happens that an image is done with KIWI . Other distributions imitate this good initiative.
PC-BSD 7.1 "Galileo" αlpha2
Faster than my updates to PCBSD is the development of BSD Unix FreeDesktop "beautiful" and simple when you install software, now based on FreeBSD 7.1-Stable and adding Xorg 7.4 (headaches for Kris Moore and colleagues) with KDE 4.2. I guess you already have full support in Spanish from the preferred WindowManager Linus Benedict Torvalds.

FreeBSD 7.1 bun packed with VMWare
VirtualBSD offers a 7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD configured with VMWare encapsulated XFCE, its holder vdmk Firefox 3.0.5, OpenOffice.org 3.0, GIMP 2.6.4, Samba 3.0.34, VLC 0.9.8a, CUPS 1.3.9 and Transmission 1.42 between other applications. For those who resist PC-BSD 7.0.2 and do not dare to install a real FreeBerkeleySoftwareDistribution.

DragonFly BSD 2.2 Introduced
DragonFly BSD team has released version 2.2 The main difference is the inclusion of HAMMER filesystem as stable. According to its developers is loaded with many upgrades. An interesting project that tries to bring Unix to the users.

Released version 4.4 of OpenBSD
Via OSNews I find that a few days ago has been released version 4.4 of OpenBSD.
The changelog is pretty important, you can find on the following link:
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-announce&m=122547376504077&w=2
One step further for this operating system whose main goal is proportional to a free and experience as safe as possible.
