  1. Re:BSD not a bad thing by MavEtJu · · Score: 2

    Slashdot is simply not the place to hear the latest about the BSD's.

    I find the slashboxes quite handy: Daily Deamon News, BSDToday and FreeBSD Diary.

  2. Meeting Pictures Available by m.dillon · · Score: 3, Informative
    You can access pictures I took during the FreeBSD summit (Click Here). There were some great moments and since I was putting the pics up in near real time the folks coming in on the conference call were effectively there in person.

  3. Why is open source having such a hard time? by archen · · Score: 3, Funny

    So here is a good example of why open source is having a hard time:

    "An OpenBSD presentation slide"

    Note the lack of pointless animations to drive home the point that there is a lack of content. Note the lack of gradiant/textured background to "enhance" the slide in some way as to somehow looking "professionally done with Power Point" (cute font is a good start though). Notice the lack of bullets to point out that you didn't have much to say in the first place, and just have a few points with bullets.

    Most importantly (from the slide), "Recently improved":

    tcron/popen.c; md5(1); altqd parser; hash/rmd160.c, etc..

    Any chance of a mortal person understanding even remotely what that means? That looks suspicously like content.
