+ 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.
