Per Dr. Marshall Kirk McKusick (as announced in one of the recent BSD conferences), No Starch Press will be publishing the third edition of the Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System book sometime later this year.

Chapter 1, config files don’t go in /etc. Well they do, but also /var. And also here and also there. It’s like linux you get a free treasure hunt built in when you need to update something. Some services get local_ attached even though all the services are local. Somehow NetBSD is able to avoid all of this. But do you want working drivers or not? End of chapter 1.

Actually FreeBSD is great and for a modern OS better than linux in all ways but ecosystem and even there it’s fine. But also the design while it makes sense in some way kind of sucks, it’s messy.

I was just wondering about this the other day. I own both previous versions.
