Official support for OpenBSD in Parallels Workstation</a> |
|
undeadly.org, November 10, 2006 |
|
</strong></font><br> |
|
OpenBSD is now supported by Parallels, a commercial OS |
|
virtualization product for Mac OS X, Linux or MS-Windows. |
|
In addition to allowing users to run both OpenBSD and one of those other |
|
systems concurrently, the announcement means that developers with Intel Mac |
|
hardware can run multiple test systems; the Undeadly Editor adds: |
|
"I've had up to six OpenBSD guest systems operating simultaneously, |
|
versions 3.8 through 4.0 (and -current)." |
|
This also reinforces the increasing commercial acceptance of our favorite OS. |

OpenBSD turns 4.0</a> |
|
CNET News.com, November 3, 2006 |
|
</strong></font><br> |
|
Stephen Shankland talks about the UltraSPARC III code in 4.0, and notes that |
|
OpenBSD has chosen to stay with stable GCC versions rather than moving to |
|
the latest and most bloated GCC versions like Linux did. |
|
Quotes Theo as saying: OpenBSD doesn't aim for particular niches, |
|
but it's popular in network applications... "The biggest |
|
users of OpenBSD these days are people who need our fancy networking |
|
features..." |
