I found out that <a href="http://openbsd.org" rel="nofollow">http://openbsd.org</a> is not the same as <a href="http://www.openbsd.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.openbsd.org</a> (one is much lower bandwidth) and apparently it's intentional that one doesn't redirect to the other. And that's not even to mention the website not using a static generator or CSS (despite <a href="http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/</a> actually being modern and good looking). From what I understand is the reason it's not changed is because it'd be too much work because it's duplicated everywhere, but they won't accept contributions to change it.<p>I love OpenBSD as a piece of software, but I don't understand it's developers or community at all.
Packets already flowing through 5.4 -<i>release</i> on my 'lil ALIX home router. Workstation on -<i>current</i>, of course.<p>There is <i>nothing</i> quite like OpenBSD out there. Thank you OpenBSD developers!
If you haven't tried OpenBSD yet I invite you to try it, you might like it. A long time ago I used OpenBSD as my sole desktop for six months and I fell in love with it. Right now OpenBSD is not a viable solution for my needs, but depending on your use case it might be for you. I definitely hope that one day I can use OpenBSD as my main operating system.<p>My favorite OpenBSD features:<p>-Awesome documentation (FAQ & Man Pages)<p>-Small installation media (amd64/install54.iso - 232MB)<p>-OpenBSD developers eat their own dog food<p>-Just works philosophy
I'm a big OS geek, I love to install and test all new operating systems. Does anybody use OpenBSD as their main development OS? At least there's ports, and looks like you can compile all the necessary tools (xmonad, vim, firefox, zsh) from the ports system. But is this the ideal use of OpenBSD? Do I gain something if changing from Gentoo?
The vocals on the release song are lovely <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/songs/song54.mp3" rel="nofollow">http://www.openbsd.org/songs/song54.mp3</a> - <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#54" rel="nofollow">http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#54</a>
What is the best hardware for a home router? Soekris was very popular in the past but I'm wondering that maybe there's cool hardware out there.<p>I also wonder if carpd is usable with a DHCP connection.
