You have failed to satisfactorily explain why running a specific application
in a VM is more secure then running it in a standard OS. It's nonsense that
you think it's more secure that way. It saves a lot of money, yes -- you
don't necessarily want a separate box just to run an application - but

You're mistaken about something. "Xenocara" is just the OpenBSD name
for the newest version of X.org. The 4.2 X sets include cwm. You're
probably thinking about the 4.1 X sets and earlier - they didn't
include cwm because they used an older version of X.
Again, "Xenocara" IS X. cwm requires X. Ins

For one thing, I think you're quite confused. Unless I'm missing something,
I'm not noticing the FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux kernel developers "signing"
their code, or doing anything particularly differently from the OpenBSD
developers. Please explain.
You've also conveniently ignored bofh's question.

I believe the religious nut is talking about software in ports/packages. He
seems to see unfree software as something morally wrong, and as a result,
won't recommend any distribution that lets it's users even INSTALL non-free
software. Same reason he doesn't like Debian, even though they're one of
Exactly. Distributions need systems to prevent users from installing nasty
unfree software. Something like...DRM. Oh wait..

OpenBSD doesn't contain metapackages. There's no single package that
installs all of XFCE for you. Install the necessary components and
applications from the x11/xfce4 category. (http://ports.openbsd.nu/x11/xfce4)

Jeez, perhaps btpd should finally support protocol encryption? Last time I
checked it didn't. A surprising number of ISPs limit BitTorrent traffic, and
more and more seeders, including me, can only be connected to via a client
that supports encryption. Until btpd gets around to supporting this, it'

tried to help out, that's all.

The default system can run graphics adequately. So can pdaXrom, and
OpenZaurus/Angstrom, or the Cacko ROM. These OS's burden the Zaurus less
then OpenBSD does. There are ways to improve speed, however.d If you're
expecting to run KDE or GNOME with 10 open windows, good luck with that. If
you use mu
Aside from some typos, I'll have to dispute the inclusion of movie watching
and movie editing. Very much, actually. I've never had noticeably poorer
movie watching/viewing performance on OpenBSD as opposed to other
distributions. (Gentoo is my other, and neither work better then the other

top systems vary. That, and
watched video varies. For me, it's usually cartoons anime, and I'm sure the
difference between Trigun on a blob and Trigun on a proper driver isn't
going to be that impressively different, even if it were better for
non-cartoons.

gree with what's being said, I think...but people's definition of a
desktop differ, and as an aside, it's perhaps a little excessive? I mean,
how many users are going to really notice video differences, or attempt to
play 3d games in OpenBSD? (Do we even have many in ports?)

I would love to see rxvt-unicode in ports, personally. It'd be much
more convenient, for me at least. It's definitely my favoured
terminal.
