hrmmmmm.... just wondering how 'usable' my system would be when back orfice and netbus are competing for processor cycles... or how usable my data is when it is gone... ... or how usable when I am staring at another bsod...
followed the link to find: "Vulnerable Systems: OpenBSD 2.2 and earlier" If you are running software that old... well, nuff said.
I agree that you can't prevent all possible exploits. However... installing the latest version of OpenBSD and applying all the posted security patches is going to make your system pretty darn secure. (even if you don't know much about security)
now if you go and start changing the default install without security knowledge you are asking for trouble.
You got it. Thats why the DOJ uses OpenBSD. A Line-by-line security audit makes a big difference. Do you think MS will do a Line-by-line security audit to Win2K? Ya right! You wouldn't put a top of the line Medeco on a balsa-wood door would you?
I have read the GPL and the LGPL many, many times. I have even discussed these licenses at length with loads of people. There seems to be a great deal of "legal" confusion regarding these licenses. FSF site really doesn't help much either. Where can I find intelligent discussions / articles about developing commercial apps with GPL / LGPL licensed programs. P.S. I do contribute to "free" projects and would like to use these devel. tools for some commercial projects (because many of my clients have policies in place to avoid getting tangled into any unknown licenses) Bottom line is: I can't give these people straight answers regarding GPL and LGPL and I would like to.
Thanks

I think it is important try really try and use the word "free" sparingly. A very _smart_ marketer started to use it to serve a purpose and we seem to all be taking the bait.... hook line and sinker. Let's try to create an awareness about this instead of tempers.
I have managed (with some help from the developers and a little old fashioned reading/learning) to get TONS of stuff working right on OpenBSD. Right from the begining I found OpenBSD easier to install and use. I also loved the "simple and secure" default install OpenBSD is famous for. I didn't like the other OS's 'lets install everything under the sun and more plus lets activate the whole mess' type of installs. OpenBSD is for me. Using it now.
OpenBSD has the best security out of the box period. Why? 1) Only Totally Free OS where the developers have done a line-by-line security audit of the source tree. 2) Many of the BUGS/exploits that are discovered in other OS's were fixed in OpenBSD ages ago (before the other's)... just scan the changelogs. How many times in Bugtraq have I read a line that goes "oh that bug... we fixed that in OpenBSD X months ago."

...

just a thought.
Works great! Using IPSec with WaveLAN is ideal too. I don't like strangers listening in on my network traffic.
sounds cool
I have some friends who live like this now !
