No, I've read a few interviews where Theo stated that he hasn't added SMP support because he has no dual or quad motherboards lying around... Do people on Pricewatch not ship to Canada, or is he *that* broke?
Fuck you, you have no room to speak. You don't even run www.openbsd.org on OpenBSD servers... It's hosted on solaris machines!! haha! security holes?? security holes?! openssh is a joke, I've patched it twice recently. the only time I needed to patch my FreeBSD systems was the telnetd issue, and nobody uses telnet anymore, because they're all using your bug-ridden software.
Okay, Theo left NetBSD and formed OpenBSD. I'm not sure, but I think Theo is kind of a jerk.. Similar to some people's views of Bernstein. =) OpenBSD is *not* the most secure OS. They claim this because they "audit" all their code. That's why we still find off-by-one bugs is openssh, etc. Yah, right. If it's audited, their auditers suck worse than their programmers. The FreeBSD volunteers are *VERY* hardworking individuals. Consider Linus maintaining the Linux kernel source, and all of the userland apps. The *entire* OS. That's an awful lot of work. Not to say that Theo's crew doesn't work hard, but they're *way* behind FreeBSD. OpenBSD doesn't even support SMP yet.
Hell no. If a system administrator is too stupid to upgrade buggy software like bind and wu-ftp for security reasons, he's definately too stupid to realize his dns servers stopped working because bind expired.
in FreeBSD, if I wanna install apache for instance, I cd to/usr/ports/www/apache13 and type "make install clean".. freebsd downloads apache, if patching the code is required for it to run under bsd it does that too. mostly the patches are just path changes.. just to make all the apps install to/usr/local/bin and conf goto/usr/local/etc
No, you can boot fucking retard. A core dump is similar to a blue screen of death in windos. what do you do with windows? reboot. He's just explaining how you can dump your memory to disk, and send the results to the FreeBSD developers so that they can diagnose the error and fix it.
Oh really??? If you look on OpenBSD's website, it doesn't support more than one processor. Maybe you're thinking of FreeBSD or NetBSD... Or you're completely wasting quad xeon machines.
yeah, just look at what all their "auditing" has done for OpenSSH..! How many times have I patched OpenSSH recently..? 3..? Don't buy into their "auditing," as it's a ploy to be more "secure" than FreeBSD.
... and your samag article is incorrect. they made a revision which proves FreeBSD is just as fast as linux. At the time of their article, a default FreeBSD install was "untuned" for rock-solid stablilty, and now most of the required tweaks are installation defaults.
Because FreeBSD uses a different liscence than the GPL. They use the BSD liscsnce. It's basically the same, but more flexible for developers. You can use their work, compile it, and distribute it without source and make money off it. Hence OSX.

damn right. kill sendmail, kill bind. I'd much rather:
a) have a choice between a few
b) install qmail/djbdns by default. =)
fp!
Wouldn't you imagine that someone skilled enough to install and use Linux would build their own machine in the first place?
I'm running win xp with ie 6 on my "game" machine. the minesweeper link wasn't working, but the test.txt and google cookie links worked.
Too bad it's not true. Even if BSD did die, I'd still install it on all my new boxes.
umm. because sierra or another game developing company could use it. I mean, come on. I'd love to see counter-strike using that engine.

Yeah, that was posted on April 1, btw.
mod this guy up.
lameness filters suck

mod this up, that's funny.

yeah, and you don't need to do "& make ..." either.
make install clean

You are absolutely correct. I switched from Debian to FreeBSD a little over two years ago, and I haven't had the slightest problem. ever.
Linux and FreeBSD are two completely different operating systems. Microsoft's not *entirely* stupid, they did choose FreeBSD after all.
Yeah, and if you check out the article, they link to their site. www.wehavethewayout.com
Netcraft has some interesting things to say about that site:
Operating System and Web Server for www.wehavethewayout.com
The site www.wehavethewayout.com is running Rapidsite/Apa-1.3.14 (Unix) FrontPage/4.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.5a on FreeBSD
