   Bartek Rozkrut (aka Madey), made a guest appearance on LinuxRadio, speaking
   about differences between OpenBSD and Linux. During the show, listeners were
   able to comment and ask questions on IRCNET's #linuxnews channel. The main
   criticism was that OpenBSD doesn't support SMP and isn't available for the
   IA-64 platform. LinuxNEWS is the biggest polish Linux news service, covering
   the entire Linux scene in Poland.<br>

   Translation of Stephan Somogyi's opinion piece, explaining why he runs
   OpenBSD.  Some might argue that his example security flaw,
   open spam relays, is really no big deal, but we think it raises an
   important point: if an OS or mail system ships with relaying open by default,
   what message does that send about that system's resistance to less trivial
   attacks.  He also chides Intel and 3Com for not providing driver
   documentation to allow their IPsec networking cards to be used.

   works even though it doesn't have a fancy point &amp; click interface. He even
   gives typical download times from the various national ISPs.<br>

 Translation of Stephan Somogyi's opinion piece, explaining why he runs  
 OpenBSD.  Some might argue that his example security flaw,  
 open spam relays, is really no big deal, but we think it raises an  
 important point: if an OS or mail system ships with relaying open by default,  
 what message does that send about that system's resistance to less trivial  
 attacks.  He also chides Intel and 3Com for not providing driver  
 documentation to allow their IPsec networking cards to be used.

 Bartek Rozkrut (aka Madey), made a guest appearance on LinuxRadio, speaking  
 about differences between OpenBSD and Linux. During the show, listeners were  
 able to comment and ask questions on IRCNET's #linuxnews channel. The main  
 criticism was that OpenBSD doesn't support SMP and isn't available for the  
 IA-64 platform. LinuxNEWS is the biggest polish Linux news service, covering  
 the entire Linux scene in Poland.<br>

 </strong></font><br>  
   
 Bartek Rozkrut combines an overview of OpenBSD with a review of how to  
 download and install the system. He mentions Theo de Raadt's "craze"  
 about security and how he frustrates Linux advocates on Bugtraq with  
 mails like "the problem was fixed a year ago in OpenBSD".  
 The author spends some time explaining the disklabel partitioning scheme and  
 reassuring would-be users that the no-frills installation script actually  
 works even though it doesn't have a fancy point &amp; click interface. He even  
 gives typical download times from the various national ISPs.<br>
