OpenBSD Review at DistroWatch

Posted by michael on from the it's-not-paranoia dept.

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.'"

    *Sigh* Parent comes up with a moderately amusing twist on the old "*BSD is dying" meme and gets marked down as a troll.

    Are BSD users really that prickly? If the guy/girl/penguin was really trolling, I'm sure they'd come up with something spikier than that.

    Enough said. Mod up parent and not this slightly boring post, please.

    I'm not sure about Codeweavers, but very low-level programs (eg binary drivers) will not work because the Linux emulation layer on BSD can not access the hardware directly. Why? Because drivers are already running below the emulation layer. High-level programs (like the binary-only Linux UT2004 server) almost always run great.
