Nach eigenen Aussagen(!) der Firma handelt es sich bei SilverOS um ein kommerziell vertriebenes und mit Support ausgestattetes Produkt, das auf FreeBSD 4.X basiert und auf die kommende DragonFly-Version 1.0 aufsetzt. Nähere Produktspezifika finden sich auf der weiter unten angegebenen Webseiten-URL.

SilverOS is a stable version of FreeBSD 4.x based on an early preview of the upcoming DragonFly BSD 1.0 release. SilverOS exists to be the convergence point of stablity and innovative design, drawing from successful research collaborations including IBM's K42 Research Project. SilverOS is a commercially supported BSD system from a company that has a proven track record in innovative BSD design, development, and deployment.

Zusätliche Infos zu SilverOS lassen sich auf http://www.gobsd.com finden. Das SilverOS Project wurde von David Rhodus auf die Beine gestellt. Warum es jetzt noch eine *BSD Version gibt erklärt er folgendermaßen:

We are building a commercial grade operating system using DragonFly as our base. The ISO's I offer on the site here will be free images and release candidates. We are placing value added items into the image such as installed and customized software and are maintaining a more stable code path for the entire operating system. The development can be too fast passed in the DragonFly cvs tree to maintain a stable 24/7 production O/S. This has always been the case for FreeBSD. I currently have a regression setup of around 100 test bed machines. This enables us to find almost all of the bugs and push the fixes back into the DragonFly tree.

We are also developing and adding in new features into the operating system itself such as enhanced very of the UFS filesystem, a new faster VM object type management, and other speed enhanced. All of these will later be pushed back into the DragonFly development tree.

Because we are a commercial entity, with many of the developers bringing in a large array of contacts, we can offer new device drivers which none of the other open source vendors can currently offer.
