  1. netBSD logo by crackshoe · · Score: 4, Interesting

    how long has this logo been in the running? they manage to mention it constantly, but never actually give any information on it. just strikes me as a bit odd.

    Don't worry - its just stigmata. Pass me a napkin and don't you dare tell my mother.

      They started it in January, and it closed at the end of February. It was announced on at least their advocacy mailing list, and was on their news section on the front page of NetBSD.org at the time. They've been choosing a winner since then.

      According to TFA which you might possibly have bothered to R, "earlier this year".

    I was being nasty to an i386 netbsd 2.0F box the other night, by pulling out the ide cable to its hdd while it was up and running :)

    Netbsd then put up some green text, with a few details and a mention of the hdd timing out. After I plugged the hdd back in, it carried on without any problems.

    I done it a few times, and even pulled the cable out during a find /, and it did not die :)

    The only way I manged to get it to crash was to unplug the ide cable and put it into another unrelated hdd... which made it go into ddb mode :)

    Pretty damn stable IMO :)
