753: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
754: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
755: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
756: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
757: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
758: <br>
759: The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
760: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.
