1.132 louis 1732: More than 10 OpenBSD team members showed up. By far, OpenBSD was the
1733: largest representative group from free software at the conference.
1734: Usenix gave us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,
1.413 grunk 1735: 2.3 "wire-frame" T-shirts, and the new 2.4 embroidered

1740: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously trust in OpenBSD
