OpenBSD is probably as slow as you can go. Their goal is not ultimate desktop performance, it's security. Look for performance somewhere else until it's "secure enough".
FreeBSD has for a long time been THE STUFF for speed, but that's not quite true longer since the release of Linux 2.6.
Ports offer a great advantage if you want to build stuff with your own options, but it requires time, bandwidth and some knowledge of what you are doing. The speed difference will probably not be worth it but atleast you don't have to use all those toolkits you don't like anyway.
Philosophy? Definitly, now we are talking. If you are a developer the BSD License let you enjoy the greatness of having all the source code at your hands without having to release your own works source just because you found a nice idea or borrowed some code.
But imho the great thing with all the BSDs are documentation. Sure you have manpages in Linux, sure there are howtos, and even install guides. But with the hundreds of Linux distributions and different places and names of files and modified content of them it doesn't come close to the documentation you have in any of OpenBSD, NetBSD or FreeBSD.
My TI-85 isn't collecting dust in my drawer. This summer I had a small accident with flavoured oatmilk. What started as a tilted backpack ended as a TI-85 with some IC connectors magically erroded away after 5 hours or so of traveling.
Kids, remember this: Oatmilk with salt = ionized water. Batteries = electricity. Ionized water + electricity isn't healthy for those small metall pieces of yours.
Whoa, do I smell a intresting+informative moderation?
in space noone can here you scream.
So, a hum you say? no, don't hear it.
(yes, theoretically it's not completely vaccuum especially back then, so of course it could have been one)
I've a few backup CDs of my $HOME which I store on a regular CD spindel(?) since I don't look thru them anyway. My old Amiga flkoppy disks are in regular paperboxes which works great and my DVDs are in a file/binder/whatever-the-english-word-for-swedish- parm-is containing plastic sheets which can hold 6 DVDs each. the alternative would be to get lots of DVD cases and print out covers but it would use so much space so I prefer this solution.
There exists doublesided dvd-rs to.
The difference is that I think the speed of the disc is constant for -r/rw, but can change for -ram and +r/rw.
dvd-ram can also be overwritten more times, you don't need to blank it (burn and remove whatever you like) and they have a longer lifetime.
The Internet is my only source of everything nowadays. It's there I get my social part of my life, it's there I meet people with similair intrest (vegans for instance), it's the place there I share my thoughts and discuss stuff which intrests me (training, health,... oh, and computers of course).
It's the place I read news, thought not much real world news since the media websites doesn't intrests me that much.
It's the place there I get my software, the place I go shopping stuff which you can't eat. And so on.
So, is it my only source for news? No, it's so much more.
If I remember things right I got mails every now and then with complains about how bad this and that worked from the freebsd mailinglists.
I usually don't read that many mailinglists so maybe that is common and no trouble but I wouldn't have belived they was considering a release already.

Hey Mr Anonymous MorphOS zealot. You probably know aswell as I do that they already sell the AmigaONE in two different versions and that they just have managed to run AmigaOS4 on it. Sure Amiga Inc is short on funds but AmigaOS is developed by Hyperion, not Amiga Inc. And the AmigaONE computers are developed by Eyetech, not Amiga Inc. Amiga Inc just gets the license moneys and try to sell their AmigaDE.
Uhm, how do you manage to get your computer crashed by freenet? That has never happened to me.
Beyond that I understand that you mean, but for some reason it seems even very competent people have a hard time writing secure and stable code in c, so how am someone like me supposed to be able to do it? That just makes me think there might be some trouble with the approach and that you maybe should try to do it in some other way which will make it easier to develop secure apps. I don't say I do have a better alternative or even a suggestion on what to do, that's why I asked about libraries or compiler patches which might help.
There are languages like for example ADA which I have heard complains quite a lot until you get the code right, but on the other hand then it's right the code has quite good quality and aren't that likely to have any bugs. To error is human and maybe we need some tools which helps us.
Sure hammers are unsafe, and sure some people with enough experience might have a better chance of using them without hitting themself on their thumbs. To just replace the c language with something else would be like buying premanufactured furniture just to be on the safe side. But that's not the only solution, you could for example use a screwdriver instead.
There might be some "other tools" which doesn't work with the "punch the nail" technique and therefor are less likely to harm your thumbs, and those are the one I'm looking for.
I think you missunderstood me, I like OpenBSD and the stuff they release and work on. And I do understand that it's not that easy to get rid of all the bugs.
Thought this is rather old news I never thought that anyone else could do an ssh application better then the one the openbsd team could bring out. I'm confident that they do their best and look thru the code very carefully and still this kind of things happen.
I find it strange that there never seems to be an end of the openssh, apache, php, sendmail and mysql vulnerabilities. I suppose it's just damn hard to write secure code all the time. I blame the C language a little for this, should you really have to be this careful all the time? Do you really have to reinvent the wheel every single time?
Imho c is just something you should use because the application you are editing already uses it or the teacher has told you so. There are lots of better languages out there. Can't understand all the complains on java for example.
Does anyone have some suggestions about libraries, special functions, compiler mods and so on which make C programs a little more secure? Any suggestions of other languages which is available for different platforms but more secure and with less reinventing of the wheel all the time? The ones which come to my mind are as I said java and scripting languages like python, ruby and so on. But there got to be atleast one which isn't interpreted?
Suggestions are more than welcome.
I tried this for the first time ever, the resulting SiteFinder webpage seems quite useful and looks clean, but sure, I don't want to be tranfered to some site i wasn't looking for then i acidently type the wrong thing (a la microsoft internet explorer). Anyway, it seems it's NOT blocked with bredbandbolaget, the swedish 10mbps isp. I've sent the technical support an email and asked them if they are thinking about it thought, we'll see what they answer.
I haven't read any other boooks, and I don't intend to. The Core JAVA books has imho excellent quality and explains stuff very well. They also give nice hints and ideas on how to structure your programs, which seems like a much better way than the c++ like approach I would have done.
They contains very simple language and information about the language, so anyone can understand it. They got lots of code examples and a small collection about intresting APIs after each part of text for the commands used in that part.

Ni-Cd: Drain them out completely and then recharge them until full.
Ni-Mh: I think it's same as above, but the memory effect isn't as bad as it is for Ni-Cd.
Lithium-ion: Try to keep them around 40% or so, never let them go completely empty.
I might be wrong thought.

Do you expect him to run X?
On i386 it will probably only run darwin/i386 binaries, not darwin/ppc, so no macosx for you.
in space noone can here you scream. So, a hum you say? no, don't hear it. (yes, theoretically it's not completely vaccuum especially back then, so of course it could have been one)
On the other side they can easily give you 200+ popups ;)
Hey, what says you aren't a spammer who urges to find out our secret tricks?! =D
The question is if your post should have been moderated insightful or funny, i vote for both =D

a huge number of amiga iff samples on disks come to my mind =)

Hey, I specifically asked people to NOT link against them on ann.lu.
It's my home machine, poor nic =D
You could atleast have given them http://hagge.no-ip.org/personal/computers/amiga/ so they would know about my mirror on
