O'REILLY NETWORK EXPANDS BSD CONTENT
New Developer Center and New Editor Focus on Open Source Operating System

Sebastopol, CA--The O'Reilly Network, an online resource for open and
emerging technologies, has expanded into the BSD (Berkeley Software
Distribution) arena by hiring an open source editor with extensive
background in BSD, and by adding a new BSD DevCenter.

Chris Coleman, the new open source editor, is the publisher of Daemon
News, a web site serving the BSD community. Coleman founded the site,
and served as its Editor-in-Chief, from 1998 until May, 2000.  Coleman
is also an author for the Daemon News Newbies column.

O'Reilly Network's new BSD DevCenter covers all of BSD, including the
five main distributions and two commercial add-ons. The DevCenter
features original articles on BSD and related software, BSD News and
News Digest, extensive resources and links, and an in-depth weekly
column written by knowledgeable members of the BSD community. This
week's column, "Big Scary Daemons", written by Michael Lucas, offers a
walk-through of a NetBSD install by an experienced FreeBSD user.

BSD is the name of derivatives of source code from the University of
California, Berkeley, which were originally extensions to AT&T's
Research UNIX operating system. BSD is a widely-used open source
operating system used by major web sites such as Yahoo and Hotmail.
