I do not remember his name, but from what I understood, OpenAFS was working toward getting NetBSD support in 1.3 for release in 1.4. He may have been referring to another project, or perhaps that they were trying to import from OpenBSD. I am sorry if I did not understand, but that is how it sounded.
I go to Carnegie Mellon, and have talked to the guy who does a lot of the work for NetBSD and AFS here, and my general feelings now are to avoid using it on all OSes, but thank you much.
That is true... though I was not as successful... basically, I now use both NetBSD and FreeBSD; I like them both. I use FreeBSD on my laptop because it has NDIS support for my WiFi card (after 5.3), but I also like NetBSD, which is on my desktop. NetBSD seems to handle packages better than FreeBSD, as often with upgrades on the latter, I have some problems (I think that DragonFly is trying to fix that, though it is very preliminary right now). I have also used OpenBSD, primarily for the AFS support built in, but I did not like it as much as the others. I also have an UltraSparc, that, of course, is running NetBSD. To each his own, they are all great OSes, you will find one (or more) that you like.
Actually, that was referring to the carnival last week in which some Sun representatives were kicked out after yelling "Linux sucks, use Solaris, Java r0x0rs!". Apparently, then, all the workers for the Sun attaction left, and it was taken over by some script kiddies and used to serve cotton candy.
As an OS junky, I have used both of these BSDs, and am very impressed with them. I use FreeBSD on my P4 3GHz laptop, as Project Evil lets me use the WiFi card nicely, and ACPI kind of works. I use NetBSD on my Sparc Station 5 and my Athlon desktop, and I have found both to be wonderful for desktop use and as servers. I salute both of the groups of people who make these OSes, and wish that I had more time to contribute.
I actually met him once; he is also a really nice guy. While some ideas were not too good, all in all, I think that he did a good job. Farewell, Mr. O'Keefe
Actually, if I remember correctly, there was a problem with one of the rovers, and they had to re-flash it from millions of KM away. I am not sure whether they had a backup copy of the OS on the rover that would facilitate the re-flashing, or whether there was some patch that was transmitted, but I remember them talking about it on the news.
If you were replying to me specifically, I2HUB actually requires you to share, and actually disconnects you if the amount of stuff in your share directory is too low. So, sorry about the wording, but I do share as well as download.
Thanks, you've just put me off of downloading music completely. Good job, you've accomplished what the RIAA never could.
You know, it is funny, because I just started downloading music, and I use the I2HUB thing since I am at Carnegie Mellon, and it is great stuff. It is a shame that I did not get into this illegal stuff earlier. And now, like five days after I started doing it, there is a possibility that I might get sued. Oh, well. I am not addicted yet.
It is nice to know that there is someone else out there who has been up all night reading Slashdot (and, in my case, debugging programs for 15111). Unless you are from a daytime part of the world. Fool. As far as upgrading goes, though, I replaced Gentoo with FreeBSD 5.3, I have never used Redhat or its variants, and I sure as heck will not use Solaris. Oh, well. I need an espresso.

Well, I go to Carnegie Mellon, and from what I have seen, this is not a class, but a lacture, which, from a student's standpoint, probably means that there will be free food in Baker Hall soon... perhaps I will drop by and see what they have to say.

These are the great things about being in school here at Carnegie Mellon:
Open Source computing (mostly), beer, and the Steelers.

Well, then I propose that we ban anything listing Canada as a sovreign nation.

Or, you could just put NetBSD on the toaster, and compile all the ports natively, and use the heat from that to brown the bread.

I am still waiting for Microsoft to release Visual Lisp++ so that I can take full advantage of lisp in Windows.

Oh, crap, Microsoft is on the list ... hiding after Lockheed. I guess that our previous assumption about military intelligence was right after all.
Actually, the thing that I first thought was ... Microsoft is not on that list! Is military intelligence getting better?
