As always, remember to read the lefthand column for what the song is related to - this time it's about (you guessed it) RAID drivers..."

Whenever I set up an Asterisk PBX for someone it always comes with the OBSD songs as the hold music, makes for some confused callers :-)

Theo announced the lyrics on Sep 27th. It took all that time to make it here? Unless this is a dupe

  Slashdot takes a long time to cover things -- e.g. days or weeks. Other news sources ARE more up to date. Yet people still seem to come here, if only to complain about Zonk's dupes, rejected news stories that pop up later, and so on.
  
  I call the continuing popularity of Slashdot, in spite of its mediocrity, the "Slashdot Paradox".

Those of us who weren't already aware of the new song for the past two weeks?

Hopefully it will get accepted as it is more interesting than 3.8 song lyrics.
OpenBSD 3.8 will be released on November 1st which will offer a number of new features. Among the new features are several changes to the network stack that help reduce the imapact of DoS attacks. SecurityFocus conducted an interview with three of the project's developers in which they share more details about the upcoming release and this new significant change. Check it out and then please support a fine open source project!

  The article got rejected. I suppose a story about OpenBSD 3.8 song lyrics is more appealing to /. editors =P
The power of OpenBSD Songs by Sun+Tzu · 2005-10-17 23:25 · Score: 2, Funny

The OpenBSD songs, while not as popular as some alternatives, contain fully audited lyrics and music, and are among the most secure compositions you can play on a computer.

For use on conventional CD players, there is little security advantage to running OpenBSD songs.

It's a long time since there was anything in bsd.slashdot.org. Strange that they would not accept any reasonable article.
