CompactBSD for Embedded Projects

miggidy_mac writes "FatPort (a wireless Internet service provider in Vancouver, BC) just released CompactBSD. It's a set of tools that allow you to build your own customized, lightweight distribution of OpenBSD and then burns it onto compact flash (or similar) so that it can be run on an embedded PC platform (like FatPort's own FatPoint). CompactBSD takes the security and networking features of OpenBSD that we know and love, and combines them with ease-of-build and small footprint, which is great for embedded devices. Check out the project on SourceForge."

CompactBSD?

[the way, what're you]

Discreet! So no one can tell that you use it!

Let's have a flamewar!

The GPL is much better than the BSD license.

You people need to get some priorities!

The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred nearly a year ago, followed by a Holy War against Islam, and now Israel and the Palestinians as well as India and Pakistan are teetering on the brink of their own war, Argentina is in the midst of a financial crisis, America is considering launching attacks against Somalia and Iraq, and you people have the gall to be discussing compact flash BSD distros ??? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!

The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died (and will die) in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about the FISA court rebuking the FBI and Justice Department (and I'm sure if they were still alive, they'd thank the wiretaps that could have saved their lives), your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddies is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth discussing compact distributions of BSD which as we all know, is dying!

You people disgust me!

It's like being married: you always know BSD is dying.

A constant, a reassurance, in an otherwise rocky world.

Sad News, Talk Radio, No Further Details

[Anonymous Coward]

I just heard the sad news on talk radio. Troubled OS OpenBSD was found dead in it's downtown office. There were no further details. Truly a huge loss for all OS dilletante-dabbler troll hobbyists the world over. I miss it already :-(

Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon. She said, "It's for my lover in the U.S. Cavalry".

It's a Friday night and I am on slashdot.. My life sucks guys, please help me with this major problem. I am 27 year old open source developer and i'm still a virgin. I have never even kissed a female. I have been thinking about finding a prostitute for sex. Is this a wise decision? Please be kind to me.. I don't know where else to ask this delicate question.
