Michael Dexter

from FreeBSD

Michael has used Unix systems since just prior to the announcement of the Linux kernel and collapse of the Soviet Union. He has helped raise money for various BSD development efforts and usher the bhyve hypervisor into the FreeBSD operating system. Michael lives in Portland, Oregon where he provides commercial OpenZFS and FreeNAS support, hosts the Portland Linux/Unix Group, and lives with his wife and three children.

systemd got you down?

BSD Unix has been running the Internet from day one and has never been better for desktop, server and NAS storage use. FreeBSD, FreeNAS, TrueOS and OpenBSD are all proven solutions with many features not available anywhere else: The unrivaled OpenZFS file system, the PF packet filter and the bhyve hypervisor. This talk will help you choose one or more BSDs for a number of roles, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each, all based on the presenter's 20 plus years of hands-on experience with them.
