The Storage Station is some kind of Networked :> Attached Storage, similar to Netgear and the author claims it is :> running FreeBSD together with a journaling file system from Intel. :> Intel is not mentioning FreeBSD after a first glance. :> Any comments on this ? : :Ok, i mailed the author of the article and he says that a FreeBSD :login prompt appears when he logs in via telnet :) He also said he :contacted some Intel technician which confirmed it's running FreeBSD. :I don't really know if it was known before, i grepped my mailing list :archives and didn't find anything, so maybe that's some news for :advocacy. : Anyone with contacts at Intel care to confirm this? Would it be possible to get Intel to make this public knowledge (if it is indeed true). I imagine with all the press that opensource has been getting lately that this would be a good thing for Intel, no? -- Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
