Sounds vaguely BSD'ish. Maybe even FreeBSD'ish.

Just curious.

Maxtor have done a storage box with a modified FreeBSD, including Samba in the kernel. I don't know the name, but IIRC it's a small purple box with a couple of IDE boxes.

I've heard that, for reasons that don't directly relate to FreeBSD, Maxtor isn't overly happy with the results, and that the next generation box probably won't run FreeBSD. There has even been talk that it'll be running Microsoft instead.

That's upsetting, is there any reason they haven't tried to contact our developer base to resolve these issues, or is MicroSoft just twisting arms over there?
