1.132 louis 1385: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1386: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
1387: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
1388: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1389: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
1390: <br>
1391: The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
1392: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.
