The developers provide a secure system that can be downloaded completely free of charge. If you want the system to remain updated with regards to patches, then you have to do the patching yourself. Note that the patches are also provided freely. What more do you want? Is it reasonable to expect any more? You're already getting quite a bit... The packages/ports might lag a bit from the base system. If you are that concerned about it, either lend a hand maintaining the packages important to you, or consider that perhaps OpenBSD is not the OS for you. You are not OpenBSD's target audience. The developers produce it for themselves. That you happen to be able to derive value from it should be considered as the generous gift it is, and treated as such. If you do not get enough value from it to make it worth using for you, then go find something else. There are plenty of other operating systems out there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA
