Undeadly Halloween writes, "On October 18th, OpenBSD celebrated its 11th birthday and ten years of punctual biannual releases. Now it's time for OpenBSD 4.0, which includes tons of new drivers for wireless, network, and storage chips. Consider helping the project by buying the new goodies (CD set, t-shirt, poster, Audio CD). And discover what's new and what battles developers must face daily to support new hardware in the traditional interview featuring nearly 20 developers."

  1. OpenBSD is free as in beer? by technicalandsocial · · Score: 0, Troll

    It doesn't take more than a 5 minute search to find evidence of Theo outting Intel, and more recently sun for NOT donating enough to make Theo happy. So what does he do? He outs them in a public forum in an accusatory fashion. I don't feel you can claim your OS is free if you harass the people you've told it's free too, for money.

    Not really. Mac OS X is Mach-O/BSD with a GNU, BSD, and Apple userland. Actually, it's pretty fucking weird, especially if you think you can carry a lot of your BSD knowledge over to Mac OS. I mean... bash is the default shell. That's pretty un-BSD if you ask me.
