I think your response here (along with the rest) is exaggerated.
Don't worry mate, you've got your head screwed on right. This guy Graham still goes to work in a horse and carriage, and whilst I'd love to be back in the ages, unfortunately evolution has caught up with us..
Look again Julien. Graham said: "If it's that popular it's worth setting up a torrent!" I assume your overly enthusiastic rant was supposed to be directed to Bob? Who I think does not like the thought of running some random, binary only, already installed, take it as it is, disk image of OpenBSD. If someone where to go to the trouble of testing the integrity of every single file in that disk image, they probably would be expending more effort than doing the install itself. Yeah, okay, it is good for the VMware player, which only plays existing images. Some people may get something out of the image and that is great. But like Bob, I'll pass. I don't think anyone should be flamed for not wanting it though. Just because Bittorrent can be used to share data while keeping the integrity of the original file intact, does not mean that you can't share dodgy shit with it. I'm not saying that this VMware image *is* dodgy, BTW. What I am saying is that Bob and others most likely need trust to be earned and that trust does not just come in an instant. I'm not talking about Bittorrent here either, I'm talking about the VMware image. Shane J Pearson
