Not all tools are for all purposes.<br /><br />OpenBSD may not make a great Desktop, but it makes a fscking awesome router thanks to PF and comes with easy to use redundancy thanks to CARP. It also makes a great server thanks to the fact that nothing is turned on by default that doesn't need to (when I first installed Redhat it was starting up Apache, NFS, ntpd... a whole host of crap I didn't even need - it was for a desktop!) and entices you to pick the tools you need and configure them to your needs rather than a OSFA configuration that might not suit your needs and could be misconfigured (often with disastrous results!).<br /><br />Similarly, Linux makes a great desktop and quite a nice server, but it lacks some features that would otherwise make it an awesome router (such as redundancy).<br /><br />All of this in mind, there's one thing a lot of people seem to forget - OpenSSL. That was born from the OpenBSD project and is now found in a number of free and proprietary systems. The license allows them to use it freely, only asking for code enhancements to come back (which happens more often than not) and to not use the project as a means of promoting the product that the code is used in.<br /><br />Theo is guilty only of sticking to his morals - by refusing binary-only drivers, he maintains the integrity of the entire OpenBSD system at the cost of hardware compatibility. With 6 months, the average hacker can usually grok the basic functionality, enough to get the thing going, then do some further troubleshooting to open further functionality. That's how the vast majority of RAID came about. Of course, it's an uphill battle and there are obstacles at each turn, but they do it because it's fun and they give something back to the world.<br /><br />As for me, OpenBSD has worked on just about everything I've thrown at it (including a Wyse terminal - though it sometimes hangs on boot, and I'm inclined to blame the Wyse for that since it boots on other attempts) and when things didn't work, it usually wasn't a big deal.<br /><br />In conclusion, get over yourself and realise that the world doesn't end at your feet. Yes, Theo is a hard person, but the hardline stance he takes has made OpenBSD the secure operating system that it is today. If you don't agree with his ideals, go somewhere else or put up and shut up.Aaron aka Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08217040473453456468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-75034316311245952822010-10-28T09:16:25.836-04:002010-10-28T09:16:25.836-04:00Honestly?

OpenBSD's recent releases, to my surprise, have needed no X11 configuration to get rolling from a "startx", those install tarballs are pretty well thought out. I'm right now whipping up (with the 4.8 pre-release -current) a Tecra 8000 laptop (pentium ii with 256MB ram and 6 gb disk) on which FreeBSD was a never-ending hassle of device config (which ultimately failed due to lack of sound support), but OpenBSD is rockin' away on it, even the pcmcia DWL-640 wireless card was detected. Who'd have thought the stereotypical "appliance os" would now be a serious laptop OS due to the OpenBSD's intensely meticulous labors? And the clean minimalist config sure beats FreeBSDs splatterfest of multiple config locations.

Perhaps anger, and the desire to prove he's right, powers his work. I certainly know that I would NEVER hire him to work for my company, no matter how brilliant he is. I once had a brilliant new hire, fresh out of CMU, who acted similarly to Theo, sewing discord throughout my company in less than a week. I tried to discuss the problem with him and he blew up in my face, making threats of physical violence. It's the only time I've had to fire anyone and have to call the police to have the escorted off them premises.

These were not dealt with as quickly or cleanly as they could have been, with a lot of flammage over the issue. Not good.<br /><br />I would not personally want to get into a confrontation with Theo - I regard him as a superb programmer, very likely somewhere in the Aspie/HFA part of the spectrum, perfect for the niche he is working with, but a little over-focused for my tastes.<br /><br />It is precisely because of this focus that I'd not hesitate recommend OpenBSD for a secure OS on any appliance, gateway or large embedded device for which drivers existed. It's likely why DARPA were so interested in it a few years back as well.<br /><br />At one point I'd have extended that to any server not needing SMP or multicore, and I'd still probably argue it for some server systems as you really want security to be on more than just the edges. However, I'm increasingly of the belief that MAC is the way to go for server systems, especially as the DAC in Unix is so limited, and fundamentally unicore OS' just don't cut the mustard on horsepower any more.<br /><br />Further, Theo has made it pretty obvious that he is not a fan of distributed kernels, distributed systems, clusters, gridded computing or any of the other concepts that comprise either OS research at the one end or academic/scientific computing at the other. That's a big sector to lose, especially as that is your next generation of developers.<br /><br />OpenBSD will be around for a long time yet - I would say its life-expectancy is in decades - and it is certainly fundamental to many important systems. But on the evolutionary scale, I see it sharing the fate of MACH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842646859245542931.post-61234378639184847992010-07-29T20:17:59.909-04:002010-07-29T20:17:59.909-04:00So Theo told you that your code was shit,
