Why am I so hyped? Games, really...
I have some Ubuntu Linux box with a Unichrome Pro graphics chipset. I
discovered http://www.openchrome.org/ , an apparently blob-free FOSS
video driver, and for the first time in my life I had OpenGL running
on completely free software; yes, granted, most Ubuntu users,
including me, end up tolerating some other blobs (if only to watch
those sbemails), but the hardware accelerated graphics setup at least
is blob-free.
So then I discovered Chromium BSU (
http://www.reptilelabour.com/software/chromium/ ). I would love to
have this kick ass on an OpenBSD box...
