Fwd: Re: scd and mcd

My last desktop machine had an ASUS Pentium-3 (no ISA slots), USB1 only. It has outlived the original hard drive, CDROM, and power supply, but I think it makes more sense these days to throw these systems out rather than "future-proof" them, especially if a fanless SoC could be less power-hung

Re: Non-executable mappings now in NetBSD too

that creates a pipe to a newly forked child process. You write the compiled executable to the fork, and the child jumps to the begining of that compiled code as soon as your parent process closes the pipe! Gratuitous/pointless, but fun to

Re: about /usr/ports make with options..
