bullshit. i run way over a hundred openbsd machines. upgrades take me less than 5 minutes. maintainance is lower than an anything else I know. usually it's some 3rd party app that requires attention and not the OS. support timeline boo hoo. just backport the one or two patches yourself or - better - just fucking upgrade. it is trivial if your procedures are right. > > - is it easy to upgrade the machines? > Again. OpenBSD really sucks at this one. wut? trivial. takes me under 5 minutes usually. > Building from source is light years > more difficult than 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, or 'yum upgrade' or > the > like. so don't fucking do it, use releases and packages. -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
