DragonFly BSD, originally branched from FreeBSD on 2003, is working on a new approach to SMP and other kernel systems to enable an open source Single System Image operating system. Along the way, we've been picking up improvements from other BSDs and generally streamlining the underlying 30-year-old BSD code base, with a preference towards making systems less complex and easier to maintain.
We welcome new projects from students interested in operating system design.
Downloadable code from our 2009 Summer of Code students is publically available.
These projects have been accepted into DragonFly BSD. You can learn more about each project by visiting the links below.
