Trying out the new OpenBSD 3.8</a>, |
|
NewsForge, November 11, 2005</strong></font><br> |
|
This article describes the installation of OpenBSD 3.8 from a Linux user's |
|
perspective, noting the simple elegance of the installer. |
|
Although the installation process may be hard to get used to at first for |
|
the average Linux user, the author tells us that one can learn a lot from |
|
it. Furthermore, the article clears up the common misconception that working |
|
on an OpenBSD system is very different from working on a Linux system. |
|
In particular, the author states that on OpenBSD, <i>"virtually the entire |
|
catalog of familiar free and open source software titles is available through |
|
the packages and ports system"</i>. |

Return of The BSDs</a>, |
|
internetnews.com, November 3, 2005</strong></font><br> |
|
This article mentions that with all three major BSD flavors having had |
|
a release this fall, BSD is <i>"still very much alive and kicking among |
|
all the noise and buzz created by Linux"</i>. The author talks about |
|
various new or improved features of 3.8, such as bioctl(8), hostapd(8), |
|
network interface aggregation and sasyncd(8), and there are some |
|
quotes from Bob Beck. |
