I have one sorta working, but I need to figure out how to deal with all the bundled modules, flavors are easier, but I think subpackages makes more sense.
I do not choose microsoft, I would never consider using windows for a webserver. However I certainly prefer windows + IIS + MSSQL over "LAMP". Every linux distro I've tried is a painful, poorly hobbled together mess. I am too used to decent unix systems to suffer with that. Mysql is absolutely awful, and PHP is the worst of the bunch. Microsoft's offerings are a hell of a lot better than "LAMP", but don't choose either, I choose openbsd, apache, postgresql and pike.
Using safer and more effecient string handling functions like strlcpy and strlcat was not the issue, those are portable to every operating system with a C compiler. The problem was some of the security fixes were not portable to amigaOS. They were actual security fixes. Which were ignored, because they don't work on an obsolete platform. The apache devs couldn't even be bothered to wrap an ifndef around the code in question, they care so little about security.
I dunno what you mean by "this line of work", as posting crap on a website isn't much of a career. But if you mean say, unix/network admin, then everyone should know, regardless of their age. Hell, my jr admins fresh out of high school know who DEC was.
Yeah, good strategy. Pretend I am a linspire fan because I have pointed out your blatent and obvious stupidity. It must be that I love linspire so much, and couldn't possibly be that I just have common sense. Linspire isn't a good idea, its a pile of crap. That doesn't change the fact that you are an idiot, your router story is utter nonsense, and if your host OS crashes, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GUEST OS.
I don't give a rat's ass what you think your linspire box did, under no circumstance should your routers flood it with packets (you are making this bullshit up btw), that would be a flaw in the router. Duh?
And when I install linux and it kernel panics, even though win98 "worked fine", that means linux is the problem right? It has nothing to do with the bad RAM in the machine does it?
Just because you only happened to trigger your problem when you had linspire installed, doesn't mean anything. The ONLY way for an OS running inside of VMware to cause the host OS to have problems is either a serious bug in the host OS, VMware, or hardware problems. It has nothing at all to do with the guest OS, and anyone with any common sense can see that.
Just install greylisting on your mail server, and you just got rid of ~98% of your spam with next to no effort, and with no ongoing maintenance requirements. Now if you care about the 2%, throw in a couple regex filters to block shit like forged gmail/yahoo mail, and mail with helo/ehlo with your mail server's name.
And I can still go and buy a $10 keyboard because Microsoft and Logitech with their horrible, useless keyboards aren't the only players. The RIAA and MPAA control their respective markets, and the oligopolists that make up those organizations have been actively engaging in price-fixing for years. Big difference.
You are comparing the margins on ridiculously over-priced $100 keyboards, even though $10 cheap keyboards exist, to the margins on DVDs and CDs, which are consistantly outrageous with no reasonably priced options.
Actually, tons of industries price their products/services based on how much it cost them + some % profit margin. But with no competition, certain industries price their goods at whatever price they feel they can get away with (CDs, DVDs, software, etc). Piracy is the natural result of prices being set with no basis in reality. Piracy is the monopoly competing with itself.
Wow, you must be incredibly dumb to have any problems with ports. When I find something not in the ports tree, I make a port of it rather than just install it from source. That way it can be cleanly installed/upgraded/removed on as many machines as I want using the generated pkg, and it can cleanly have all dependancies auto-installed, and be depended on by other ports.
Welcome to OpenBSD: The proactively secure Unix-like operating system.
Please use the sendbug(1) utility to report bugs in the system. Before reporting a bug, please try to reproduce it with the latest version of the code. With bug reports, please try to ensure that enough information to reproduce the problem is enclosed, and if a known fix for it exists, include that as well.
You'll notice that linux is just a kernel, and freebsd is a kernel, plus the entire set of system utilities and libraries. So yeah, those numbers do suggest that linux is lower quality.
Who gives a rats ass about a stupid EULA. Just use it anyways. And how stupid is it that FreeBSD will add binary-only, backdoor filled, unmaintainable blobs to their fucking kernel, but they won't let flash be in the ports tree?

How is it like that at all? There isn't even a vague passing resemblence.
The whole idea behind that book is nonsense. Almost all sucessful open source projects are closer to cathedral than bazaar. And ESR is a lunatic.

"In the world of troubleshooting that points to a very clear problem with Linspire."
No, it points to a very clear problem with your "routers". Get a clue.
All that says is that you have bad hardware.
No, his point was trolling to drag out the insecure people who feel the need to puff up their feathers and show everyone how big they are.
"Why should any MTA operator have to endure constant connection attempts from the zombied PC's of the tards these companies call customers?"
Just use greylisting.
You can't check the validity of the from address of mail. They blacklist people who's mail servers return tempfails for fuck's sake.
But seriously, just use a decent browser like opera and click the little "use my stylesheet" button, and suddenly everything is perfectly readable.

That would be funny, except that people actually say that shit. With a straight face. Its just sad.
You'll notice that linux is just a kernel, and freebsd is a kernel, plus the entire set of system utilities and libraries. So yeah, those numbers do suggest that linux is lower quality.
No, "BSDers" laughed and said "gee, I wonder why your broken benchmarks that you designed for linux to look good make linux look good".
Who gives a rats ass about a stupid EULA. Just use it anyways. And how stupid is it that FreeBSD will add binary-only, backdoor filled, unmaintainable blobs to their fucking kernel, but they won't let flash be in the ports tree?
Its called SCSI. Quit buying shitty storage and then complaining that it's shitty.
