The default system can run graphics adequately. So can pdaXrom, and OpenZaurus/Angstrom, or the Cacko ROM. These OS's burden the Zaurus less then OpenBSD does. There are ways to improve speed, however.d If you're expecting to run KDE or GNOME with 10

Aside from some typos, I'll have to dispute the inclusion of movie watching and movie editing. Very much, actually. I've never had noticeably poorer movie watching/viewing performance on OpenBSD as opposed to other distributions. (Gentoo is my other,

You have failed to satisfactorily explain why running a specific application in a VM is more secure then running it in a standard OS. It's nonsense that you think it's more secure that way. It saves a lot of money, yes -- you don't necessarily want a

You're mistaken about something. "Xenocara" is just the OpenBSD name for the newest version of X.org. The 4.2 X sets include cwm. You're probably thinking about the 4.1 X sets and earlier - they didn't include cwm because they used an older version of

What is the benefit of doing so? What's the point? Is the website so likely to be hacked into, that the developers need to sign all communication just to ensure that it comes from them? There's absolutely no need to signing errata or official

For one thing, I think you're quite confused. Unless I'm missing something, I'm not noticing the FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux kernel developers "signing" their code, or doing anything particularly differently from the OpenBSD developers. Please explain.

I believe the religious nut is talking about software in ports/packages. He seems to see unfree software as something morally wrong, and as a result, won't recommend any distribution that lets it's users even INSTALL non-free software. Same reason he

openbsd-misc - Kevin Stam - Dec 9 2007 - 23:23

Exactly. Distributions need systems to prevent users from installing nasty unfree software. Something like...DRM. Oh wait.. On Dec 9, 2007 11:27 PM, Ray Percival wrote: > So, what Stallman seems to be saying is that

OpenBSD doesn't contain metapackages. There's no single package that installs all of XFCE for you. Install the necessary components and applications from the x11/xfce4 category. (http://ports.openbsd.nu/x11/xfce4) Here's a "tutorial" on bsdforums that

Jeez, perhaps btpd should finally support protocol encryption? Last time I checked it didn't. A surprising number of ISPs limit BitTorrent traffic, and more and more seeders, including me, can only be connected to via a client that supports encryption.
