OpenBSD 3.2 Pre-Release

Noryungi writes "Yep, OpenBSD 3.2 is now officially in pre-release, and can be pre-ordered from the openbsd.org web site as well. Another very, very wacky design for the CD as well... Is Theo de Raadt a fan of James Bond?"

I see no endorsement of the product. => Not an Ad.

If your company makes a product involving software published under the GPL or BSD license, submit it to /. you might get on the front page, and it will cost you nothing.

Oh wait, you're just whining.

[almeida]

The correct spelling is Theo de Raadt as indicated at Theo's dot com [theos.com]. It is also all over the OpenBSD webpage.

What do I have to do to piss you off enough to send me some money?

Send me n+1 dollars for every n you want me to send you.

Great! Everone who loves OpenBSD should support!

[jawtheshark]

I am a BSD guy, and I'm pleased you help the cause! So do I, I checked the openbsd website daily because I knew preordering was going to be possible very soon. So today, I logged in, saw one could preorder, did my preorder and my yearly donation. Then I checked slashdot and saw this story ;-)
If you like a project, just support it...especially if you still are employed and can spare a few Euro's.

I'm down with that action - but methinks before I get hardcopy of the CD's - I'm going to wait for the kickass new artwork to show up on a poster.
Don't get me wrong, my systems will be upgraded (via FTP), I'd just like to put it all on one order.

Me too. Well kinda. I've pre-ordered 3.2. I've purchased the CD's when I could since 2.5. But I also want some shirts and maybe a poster.

I'd love to make use of the discount for volume shirt purchases, but I don't like 12 enough to buy them. More like 8.

So I wish they'd make more shirts.

FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE

[MavEtJu]

After reading this [slashdot.org], I thought it would be only fair to mention this:

FreeBSD 4.7 is out. Here is the announcement [freebsd.org].

Re:FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE

[penguin_punk]

umm... I agree, (although I usually dislike all websites)

but the real question is, what does your sig "bash$ :(){ :|:&};:" mean?

I know it has something to do with 100% cpu usage, but I wouldn't mind if you explained it as well. Cheers.

Re:Remind me again, please...?

WHAT makes Obsd worth purchasing or supporting?

One remote hole in the default install in almost 6 years? I bet you were'nt even out of school 6 years ago.

I mostly use OpenBSD for routers and firewalls (since 2.5), on which I disable ssh. Running *any* service (other than packet filtering or routing) on a firewall or router is not a good idea IMHO.

It's certainly not the security, given the recent spate of r00tings.

Anyone, who watched the errata page or read the lists and bothered to heed the bloody warnings WAS NOT ROOTED.

It's certainly not performance.

Do tell then...

Oh...it's because Theo an cr3w are |33+, of course...

They're a whole lot more |33+ than you arsehole. Where is your more secure OS then?

In short; donate early and often to worthwhile open source projects (suse? mysql?) early and often...

WTF!? SUSE? Why SUSE? I've got nothing against SUSE but why not Debian or Gentoo? If I was going to advocate supporting a Linux distro, it would be Debian or Gentoo. I have donated money to Debian in the past, BTW, in addition to official OpenBSD purchases.

and let the prima donna ridden WANK FEST known as OpenBSD sink to oblivion.

Thank you, and have a GNU/night.

You are a moron.
