OpenBSD 3.8 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gentlemen-start-your-compilers dept.

    Theo decides to release all of their great work under the BSD license so that everyone can benefit from the tools, no questions asked. That's not enough for some people though, complaining that there are no torrents. Maybe you would only support OpenBSD if they emailed you a personally pressed copy for no charge?

    No, you assumed that I want a torrent because you think I'm cheap and implied I'm ungrateful.

    I don't have a lot of time quite often, and I DO have a short attention span for taking on new projects. An attention span for trying a new OS or distribution that does not go past downloading+burning a CD or DVD. If I like what I see and they ask for donations (provided it's a reasonable amount, goes to a registered NPO they've established ie actually goes to helping the OpenBSD effort) that's fine.

    Heck, I can't even get an ISO via FTP. I have to download a whole bunch of packages, make FLOPPIES (what is this, 1995?)...I don't even OWN any floppies...
