Hi, I'm just looking at how openbsd works to see if it suits my needs. I have a small old box (piii celeron @797 MHz & 32KB $, with 512 MB ram), and in my experience compiling just the linux kernel takes ~4 hrs, and compiling gcc/g++ takes ~24 hrs...
I read in the documentation that if there are fixes, they come through patches, and then to keep things simple, the easiest "fastest" way is to keep the whole stable source tree up to date with patches, which imply initial compilation + recompiling any time a patch arise... I'm wondering whether this would mean lots of compilation time, which in this small machine might take too much... So it's true there's no binary way to keep the system patched, right? Thanks, -- Javier
