This is not what everybody is thinking. FSF and OSI list this licence in their collections of free software licences. And many software with this kind of a licence is included in many distros, Debian for example, which has very strict rules of what can be included.
Of course, the wording is confusing, and this licence is not recommended, and OpenNTP guys are entitled to their own opinion.
I also looked at the license, looks OK. Maybe it's a practical matter, that with the old license you don't have to do anything. But with the new license you have to remember to say "This product includes..." blaa. I think this practice is already a problem, see for example this blaa blaa blaa. Since NetBSD also does that blaa, I don't think they mind XFree86 doing that too... I totally understand all projects rejecting new license, since they can spend less time on blaa blaa blaa.
I also would like itojun to have more say about how NetBSD is developed. I agree with many points he is making. He would like to port PF (OpenBSD packer filter) to NetBSD, for some reason it is not yet included. Same goes for resolver library from ISC. About bsdauth, don't know what is better, PAM or bsdauth... And I too hate NetBSD NIH attitude!!! But I also think NetBSD is the best and I hope the NIH attitude stops.
I've seen this too, in that case the -framedrop option might help. Also check the CPU is not running other stuff in the background;)

Maybe they don't want to have an option for every character in alphabet. If so the extra dash is just extra typing. It's hard to debate what is ugly, but the double-dash is just a gnuism and no more standard than the single-dash.
Quoting the first post in that page: "Portage is the pure sh*t". Surely, the site is better without such comments. Deadly.org is not dying, it's just much better without all that stuff about what is right or wrong software.
Inline functions in GCC2 are brainded. GCC3 makes this (and many more things I'm sure) work right. It's a shame they used that old compiler for so long, but I guess stabilizing a toolchain for 30+ (?) platforms is not that easy.
NetBSD is also using dynamic/bin,/sbin, not sure what OpenBSD is doing. This is not much of an ability since/usr/bin,/usr/sbin have always been dynamic, now everything is dynamic. Well, looks like everyone has all-dynamic system now, which is good.
Slashdot Mirror
It has Flash installed automatically. [speaking of 7.1 here] It also has AOL messenger. If it can now see ICQ buddies, I'm happy.
2.0 has many new stuff, like newer compiler GCC3 (1.6 had GCC2), native threads library, SMP, this is just new stuff, what everybody else has too
I was also hoping to get OpenBSD's packet filter but it's not there :(
Of course, one should not wait but download 2.0_BETA immediately from releng.netbsd.org ;)
Indeed, check out this site to reduce your pain.

That's true, install X11 software and you can connect to millions of unix boxes around the world.

I will be very happy if EU make MS bundle Mplayer ;)
I think it's RedHat because that's what the most popular Ayatollah uses (www.sistani.org)
Watching to images... I miss my space Legos so much.
Sure it is. But even a bigger news item would be that there are no holes. I guess it's almost impossible to find holelesnes.
No idea, what is this *BSD anyway?
Alpha is a walking body bag.

Not to mention dead compiler.

Think again. It's D) He is fscking with you.
More importantly, services like ssh should be implemented in Java or some other language in which errors in "buffer management" don't happen so often.

I'm testing GCC3 and the system is working ok. But the failing packages are really annoying. Missing blackbox...

Because in that case, you won't be in slashdot, the register.

Ok, sounds nice, but why replace wscons with this?
