SMP On OpenBSD, Coming Soon
Lord of the OpenBSD writes "At long last, SMP development on OpenBSD looks to be gearing up. One person is now doing full-time funded development on SMP. Project leader Theo de Raadt is now asking for funding for a second developer. Theo has announced that SMP support for i386 is planned for the OpenBSD 3.6 or 3.7 release, the first of which is due in 8 months."
theo is an incompetent idiot.
h20 dragon is a known kuro5hin troll also he trolls the irc channel #kuro5hin and bans people he disagrees with
mod this piece of crap down

because deraadt is an insufferable prima dona who won't ever _ever_ admit there just possibly might be something he doesn't know how to do better than anybody else on earth? and none of his fanboys can code SMP, or won't admit they can lest he turn on them and roast them alive, and they would rather kiss his ass than show him up?
openbsd is a fucking cult of personality.
Linus is looking for funding to make Linux more secure, cuz he and Alan already tackled SMP!
(that makes much more sense no?!)
"In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won't end up like the Hurd people." --Linus Torvalds
Yeah. It's so far ahead of Windows. Microsoft has only had SMP in their kernel code for what? 5-6 years?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME. This is a horrible post.
First off, BSD people like their operating systems because they are reliable, consistent, tried tested and true. And yes, there is a market for reliable systems ( *suprise*, I am not making this up, and linux is not as reliable as most people think for many applications)
Second off, BSD code is VERY clean, linux is a mess, you look at some code in the kernel and have to wonder wtf it is, BSD code is extremely clean and efficient compared to linux.
third, I'm not one for licenses, but some people like the licenses bsd offers more than the GPL.
Fourth, some bsds (Open comes to mind) like to keep all their stuff open, this is why OpenBSD is not yet supporting the ultrasparc III, it's not because they can't, they just won't sign the papers to sparc because they only use open specs on their system.
Saying that Linux is better than BSD's is one of the most ignorant things people can say, there is a place for everything, and these people put it into BSDs, not because of their ego, because that is their preference. It's like me telling you to drive a Honda instead of a Ford because it is simply ahead of it's time (actually, yes this point is true, hehe).
a couple more things, Apple picked a BSD os for their kernel because they wanted something that was tried and tested and worked best for them, they didn't say, hey, lets go BSD without looking into it.
Take your head outta your ass and take a good smell around because there is more in the world than linux, and for good reason.

You fucker! This can't be true. Why do you guys hate BSD so much! NetBSD is the best and all the other BSDs are bullshit and arent real. And that includes all Linux "OS" and DeadRat. I dont understand why the world doesnt switch to NetBSD cuase it rules so much. Theres nothing els elike it and everthing else is crap.
Theo de Raadt is a worm. An insignificant shit of a worm who thinks he is somebody. He's downright pathetic.
