OpenBSD Review at DistroWatch
jpkunst writes "Robert Storey at DistroWatch com has written an in-depth and favorable review of OpenBSD: OpenBSD - For Your Eyes Only. 'The first OpenBSD memento I ever saw was a T-shirt with a picture of a cop chasing a script kiddie. That image remained etched in my mind for well over a year before I finally got my hands on a copy of this fine OS. Now that I have it installed on my machine, I only wonder what took me so long.'"
BSD IS........being nursed slowly back to health?
Under emulation...
"As Benjamin Franklin once said, the only way for three people to keep a secret is if two of them are dead. While it's doubtful that Ben was referring to computer security, many PC users have lots of little secrets stored on their hard drives. Things such as credit card numbers, a personal address book, and perhaps a few naughty photos from the New Year's Eve party."
Man, why aren't my New Year's Eve parties like that!

man, the first time i ever ran into the whole BSD disklabel thing, i almost crapped a brick. I was pretty new to GNU/Linux at the time, and had not to much of a clue how widely varying the various filesystem types out there were.
anyway, it was 4am at the time. within the next twenty four hours my computer had about 8 different OS's (not installs, seperate OS's). by the end of it i had a 120 mb partition with an ultraslim windows 98 incarnation and OpenBSD in all it's cryptographic glory.
that was a fun day.

That way you will not have to worry about ruining your partitions on your primary disk, as OpenBSD is a bit scarier with writing to your MBR than, lets say, the GUI for GRUB in the RedHat installer.
You don't seem to have heard of the *feature* in Fedora Core 2 to get rid of booting from a windows partition
There sem to be relatively few active BSD developers,
You have proof of this?
...If you want I could subscribe you to the the cvs commits mailing lists for all of *BSD projects. >:P

Linux = Penguin = Warm and cuddly.
FreeBSD = Cartoony demon = Warm (hot?) and cuddly.
NetBSD = Many cartoony demons = Even warmer and cuddlier than FreeBSD.
OpenBSD = Blowfish with a leaash on another fish with a spiked collar = spiky, poisonous, and into S&M

No, the BSD users have a great sense of humor and enjoy the jokes.
Unfortunately, since BSD is dying, there's not enough of them left to affect the moderation.
but alas majority wins
Don't worry; they'll be first against the wall when the revolution^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h metamoderation comes.

I'm going to spill the big secret we've been keeping from the BSD is dead gang:
Beastie's horns double as neck bolts! It's alive! Alive!

OS/2? Is that like half of an operating system?
