I was posting to advoc...@openbsd.org, but only SPAM seems to function on that list?
http://youcanlinux.wordpress.com/my-thoughts-on-openbsd/ 31 Aug 2011 I was driving home Sunday and there was a Lamborghini Diablo VT driving nearby. I caught up to it and it made an unusual soundb&. very distinctive, quite unlike anything Ibve ever heard beforeb& it was smooth and yet it wasnbt anything youbd think to ever expect from a plain automobile. It was a raspy sound, a beckoning sound. I first pondered how much the fine motorcar might have cost, then I thought, it must cost a lot to keep that motor finely tuned. I thought about the quality and attention-to-detail that the Italian workers put into making this fine motorcar. I thought I had damaged my dual-core system about a month ago, at least. It wouldnbt start up and I tried pushing the power button and no luck. I decided to buy very inexpensive testing equipment. I didnbt like the idea of waiting for it to arrive, but it finally did. I had never done this before, and imagine my surprise when the power supply started up! I connected it all back together and was glad I hadnbt re-tasked the hard drive and thrown away my partimage backup files. So i was updating Fedora and it crashed, for the second time, after an update. I think of the uncompromising quality of that fine Italian motorcar and I think of a similar attention-to-detail of OpenBSD. Yeah, so what if i drive an old beat-up car, it works great for me and never has to be rebooted and it does what I expect, it gets me from one place to another. I want reliability and quality from an OS. Itbs not really all that valid to compare that Lamborghini motorcar with the OpenBSD operating system, except to say that in both cases I think the uncompromising commitment to quality and attention-to-detail shine through, Although one canbt convert a Ford car to a Lamborghini motorcar, you can transform your computer to a high-performance machine. You can download OpenBSD for free, and although you arenbt required to spend the $50 to buy a CD set, if you consider that it goes to defray operating and development costs, itbs a drop in the bucket compared to a tune-up for a Lamborghini, and isnbt it important to keep your computer running at peak efficiency ?
