    Why isn't the BSD section no longer listed on the left hand Sections menu? The Slashdot bias against BSD has gone on far too long. Editors, bring back the BSD section!

    Anyone outside the US / Canana know how much to send the CDs? The website doesn't say - and this is even right up to supplying your CC information.....

    I would prefer to know.. even a rough guide how much.... because I've seen cases (on other sites) were the shipping costs outweighs the cost of the product!

      It wasnt very expensive to send it to europe. They send it from belgium to sweden for a few euros. At least this was the case for 3.2...:-D

    RCS can be quite handy to use for configuration files, so you can have /etc/fstab and /etc/fstab,v. It's also used as a backend for other programs, like CVS (in the early days - CVS still uses RCS format files in its repository but has its own code to handle them) or to provide version history in TWiki.

    Linux binary support under OpenBSD is surprisingly good; you might give that a whirl. Just install the port emulators/redhat, execute 'sysctl kern.emul.linux=1', and change /etc/sysctl.conf. Then use a Linux JRE.

    The Linux support is actually so good that I got a dedicated Quake 3 linux server binary running on my OBSD box :)
