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.'"

Give us some substance, not a low-brow article sprinkled over a dozen+ pages (to increase your ad hit counts)

Re:BSD FAR from dead

Now this doesnt make sense to me.

To be frank, it doesn't matter if it makes sense to you or not... I'm not giving my opinion, I'm stating verifiable facts.

If there are more users of linux, why or rather, how does FreeBSD get support for newer stuff quicker?

Since when does number of users count? It's number of developers (and their level of skill) that matters.

I'm sure I'll get modded as a troll for saying this, but it's mostly a matter of a well-designed system. Tons of effort goes into just keeping the Linux kernel stable between releases, and it still doesn't work (some even have show-stopping bugs). The BSD, however, have a kernel that is simpler, written far better, and they don't accept low quality hacks/patches.

Now some of that is opinion, so you can dispute it as you see fit. But that, IMHO, that is why FreeBSD gets hardware support more quickly.
