159: distributions...
160: <li>After lunch, Marc Balmer started the afternoon with a talk "OpenBSD
161: as a Strategic Platform for the Basle Public Schools", outlining how and
1.485 mbalmer 162: why the Basle Public school system uses OpenBSD for most of its
1.484 mbalmer 163: infrastructure.
164: <li>The next OpenBSD specific talk was by Claudio Jeker, "Routing with
165: OpenBSD using OpenOSPFD and OpenBGPD" where he showed various routing
166: setups and how full redundancy can be achieved.
167: <li>Later, Marc Balmer gave a talk "Decoding Time Signal Stations using
168: OpenBSD" and explained the recent addition of timedelta sensors and the
169: first implementation of such, udcf(4).
