NetBSD 1.5ZB

Dahan writes: "I just saw that the development branch of NetBSD is now at version 1.5ZB. A change log is available for those interested. Note that although the title of the page says it's a list of changes from NetBSD 1.5 to 1.6, NetBSD 1.6 is not out yet--the page lists changes that will be in 1.6 whenever it's released. (And when will that be? "When it's ready," of course.) Standard caution about not running development kernels on mission-critical systems applies, although I've been running 1.5ZA on my DEC^H^H^HCompaq Alpha PC164 web/mail/DNS/whatever server for a few months now, and it's been great. And for those of you used to the Linux version numbering scheme and are wondering what all these letters mean, here's an explanation of NetBSD's version numbering."

NetBSD is more secure than OpenBSD.

[Jeb Beckman]

NetBSD is SECURE.

OpenBSD is easier to hack, more vulnerable than a Windows OS. Too bad because a secure OS could be one advantageous feature over a Microsoft OS.

OpenBSD is unsafe and unsecure. And that is undesireable.

OpenBSD is UNSECURE

[Jeb Beckman]

OpenBSD is UNSECURE.

This is a real concern with some of our customers. So we have to hack, I mean add, our own security encrytions which tends to be patchwork.

How come somebody cannot make a secure OS? The Intel Pentium architecture allows for good security.
