    I loved NetBSD on my Workpad z50 and look forward to trying this new version on the Thinkpad 750 (486 DX with 8BM RAM and 350 MB HD) I just got from eBay. It's great to turn these "out of date" machines into powerful multiuser network servers.

    Refreshing news.

    *grumble*

    About those Telnet and Sendmail bugfixes...

    *grumble*

    I leave one system almost totally wide opened but protected by a firewall. For a short time I left the firewall wide opened while I was dinking around... I figured? Whose going to find my box, and whose going to care enough to get in, right? Blah.

    ...some s'kid rooted the box.

    Lame.

  3. Don't post FTP URLs please by Matthew+Luckie · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nik is stupid for posting a URL to an FTP server.
    I thought slashdot had learnt their lesson on this one.
    Can a karma whore please post the changelog so that the ftp server does not get overwhelmed from all the slashbots.
    DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN

    Things told dead are living longer :)

    I think that *BSD will never die, because
    I know of many commercial software products
    (mostly firewalls) which use some edited
    *BSD as a operating system.

    I am using linux since 0.9, I've tried
    FreeBSD about 2 years ago, but I was not
    very happy about it (I used it as a firewall,
    but I had lots of problems on desktop with it :).

    I've downloaded the 1.5.1 about 2 or 3 months
    ago and I think that it is a *lot* faster than
    my linux. Besides of that, I am currently
    running the 1.5.1 on my second system,
    X11 with AfterStep, two mozilla windows,
    three terminals and GKrellM and it's only using
    61 MB of memory :))
