OpenBSD CVS RAID Array Failing, Needs Replacement

Posted by timothy on from the three-small-letters dept.

Sam writes "The OpenBSD cvs server has a failing RAID array. Users of the projects on that array: OpenBSD, OpenSSH, OpenBGPD, OpenNTPD, and the upcoming OpenCVS are all invited to contribute towards the $12,500 cost of a suitably high-spec replacement. OpenBSD Journal article, and original request (thread)."

    You nimrod, why would you want to make it non-free? OpenBSD is as free as it gets. I love that they're replacing GNU tools with BSD tools. They're doing the world a great service.

    They are producing great software which commercial and non-commercial entities can use in their products (wouldn't you rather them use secure software than building their own possibly insecure software?). The BSD license encourages this. BSD projects encourage this. Didn't your momma teach your to share?

  3. *BSD vs. *Linux by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I have set up many many Linux and BSD machines in the last god-knows-how-many years. I think I started using netBSD back before it was even a 1.0 release, but cannot remember right now exactly when. My latest project at work has been Linux on a PIII machine with a very standard video card, etc. So far I can't get X working for the life of me. I am pissed off about it. Time to go back to *BSD where I know I can get it to work in a short amount of time.

    Chill man, slow your role. This guy was just doing a troll, everyone with a brain in their head that has been reading Slashdot should be aware of the anti-GPL stance of the OpenBSD team; so it is obviously just a person trying to get a rise out of pissing people off.

    Leave the trolls to their starving, feeding them never helps.
