to thier stock holders to sell as many units as they can.
In the markets they choose to cater to. I don't see OpenBSD listed anywhere on their site, so I doubt that OpenBSD users are in their target market. Microsoft only produces Windows for Intel compatible hardware, but I have several Suns. Does Microsoft now have an obligation to me to produce a SPARC version of Windows because apperently not doing so would be 'a foolish move on [Microsoft's] part and stock holders should be pissed at them turning thier backs on millions in sales,' or is it possible that SPARC machines not in Microsoft's target market. I doubt Adaptec's shareholders are loosing sleep over some perturbed OpenBSD users.
Why? I just bought a used Sun Ultra10. If I decide to use it as my primary desktop, should I now expect every piece of hardware to work with it? Sun hardware is more popular then OpenBSD is, so everything should just work right? I should be able to walk up to Readmond and demand my UltraSPARC version of Windows right? I run OpenBSD on SPARC32 machines, should I now expect the manufacturer of every piece of hardware to create a sbus version of their hardware because thats what my hardware has?
The obligation to their customers is to clearly list what they support, and they do. If you go beyond that, you already knew it wasn't supported so your on your own.
'They bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let them crash.'
Adaptec has no obligation or responsibility to anyone to provide OpenBSD or OpenBSD users anything. If they have decided it is a market they are not interested in then they simply will not have anything to do with it. Its their decision and people shouldn't begin to whine when they don't get their way.

Dual p2, 768MB ram, 2 vmware sessions numorous konsoles, editors 10+ konqueror tabs and kmail all running, no slowdown. 1GB ram doesnt do much if you just have a 386.
programs would find themselves quite confused ./configure --prefix=/Applications --sysconfigdir=/Settings --libdir=/Librarys
so I really don't know why usr/bin is not linked to/bin (and same for other respective dirs, you get the idea) Because the binaries they hold serve different purposes. Often the stuff in/bin is statically linked so that it is usable in the event of a catastrophic failure, where as/usr/bin and/usr/local/bin binaries are often only usable if the system comes up.
you never know what lib is really used ldd `somebinary`
OS X is UNIX-based kernel Mach kernel
it does not have too messy filesystem organisation With some work your linux could have the same layout
He agreed to it, it wasn't taken away. He was stupid for doing what he did only with verbal agreements. The company might not understand what is going on clearly yet, but all blame lies with the developer not the company.
SPARC32 works very well, its as 'dead-end' hardware as a PPro or p1 is. However, sparc far better supported in NetBSD and OpenBSD then it is in Linux. If you had a lowerend sparc64 and definatly a sparc32, it would probably be a better idea to install them instead of Linux.
I wonder whats required for a Debian arch maintainer?
What good is an E-Mail service that doesn't let you send e-mail to people. Becides, replace it with something else, and you'll just get a different type of spam.
Isn't it just possible that the reason isn't that they don't want to be called a geek, but that apparently a lot of women just don't want to work on computers.
Exactly why is this a bad thing? People move on when they don't like what they're doing, it happens, get over it.

As is RPM support.
Because no one ever has a shared system. Its always just one person using a system.
How would Perl be in between while Python is not?
Testing is broken
It is? Damn, I better go shut off my Debian testing box then.

They are under an obligation to provide usefulness on legit architectures
Exactly what obligation does Adaptec have?

First thing I thought of.
I want to see the original Star Wars on an IMAX screen. Only remaster the audio.

I never run IRC, so these hits are just makeing me laugh. I'm seeing SQLSlammer traffic as well. Network security is a great laugh.
So... GCC4 has a propolice look-a-like.

For authenticating against an LDAP directory or kerberos key store, is there anything other then PAM for Linux to handle it?
ITS A MADHOUSE! A MADHOUSE!
I feel that 'impressive,' and 'made my head hurt,' would be better mods.
Just like you install any other piece of software, with a Windows based IMAP Server install package.
