I have an old Toshiba laptop and havn't had any problems with it *knock on wood*. However I havn't had the oppertunity to run something other than Windows on it yet. My father ran Red Hat on his Toshiba Satellite Pro and didn't have problems, he also ran Solaris on it.
First, Usenet posts don't count how many people are using an OS. I understand OpenBSD specifically does a lot on mailing lists.
Second, FreeBSD did not go out of buisness. Walnut Creek was bought by BSDi. Walnut Creek simply sold copies of FreeBSD on CD. Conversely, FreeBSD is still here (not owned by anyone), and doing just fine.
I understand djb is very picky in what he considers a vulnerability. For instance I understand there are a few DoSes for qmail (possibly older versions), but he claims they arn't his fault.
Slashdot Mirror
Are there any outstanding security issues with djbdns? And what are some other secure DNS servers to check out?

Hopefully soon I'll try FreeBSD on mine.

I'd like to run a FreeBSD laptop. Does anyone have a good site for FreeBSD laptop compatiblity?
But did it beat Linux onto the platform? I recall reading about linux developers getting early IA64 chips to develop on a while back.
But I could be wrong.

Until the DMCA makes it illegal to explore vulnerabilities.
Last I heard, England had publically elected officials (although the way things seem to be going there, they won't have them for long).
So the solution to parliment doing things the people don't like is to vote in members with views of your own.
No one has views like yours? Run yourself!
The point is there's something you can do (both defenseive and offensive).

I'm short on facts...
