Cool to see this posted here, I know one of the guys working on it. It would be nice if they provided some compiled/preconfigured images for VirtualBox or VMware to play with though.
Yes, that's what I expected to find when I clicked on "Getting Started." However, that just shows you the location of their code repository.
It would appear that this project shares some goals with Dragonfly BSD[1] -- apart from the choice of foundation (fork FreeBSD vs GNU/Linux) -- are there any notable differences?
Well, yes. I sort of thought I'd covered that with "...choice of foundation (fork FreeBSD vs GNU/Linux)".
Resources section of that webpage needs to have more. Until I look at the source code, I can't figure out what exactly is different from linux and how said differences matter/help.
Poking around a bit, I can't see much that this adds beyond what you can do with the Linux kernel, except where it basically breaks virtualization containerization. If you care enough about workload performance to break the strong statement of separation that virtualization affords, why not just run unvirtualized in the first place. The rest looks a lot like LXC+cgroups.
