You might not run OpenBSD, but if you're running ssh on your Linux system, then you're actually running OpenSSH from the OpenBSD project. If you appreciate being able to access your systems more securely through ssh, please consider supporting the project by buying a CD set, tshirt or poster from them.

- younata 16y agoor, you know, just donate to the project.
- jcr 16y agoDonations do help to fund the OpenBSD hackathons but buying CDs is still important. You can find more details here: http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20110419212345&mode=expanded http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=201104192...
- younata 16y agoThe link that points to [1] states the difference in where the money goes for CDs/donating. I wasn't aware of this split. [1] http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=130322381504860&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=130322381504860&w...
- elithrar 16y agoIt seems so strange that a group of some of the most knowledgable geeks we have rely on CD's to generate important parts of their funding.
- mburns 16y agoOpenBSD should start accepting Bitcoin donations.
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoOpenBSD is not owned by a charity, so the founder has to do credibly-commercial stuff to get food money. Selling CDs qualifies.
- viraptor 16y agoActually it will run Portable OpenSSH. If you really care about donating for that cause, contacting the porting team might be a good idea.
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoThe "portable" part is not the major part of "portable OpenSSH", though. (It is nice, though.)
- viraptor 16y agoI'm not sure what you mean. Portable openssh is openssh + support for non-openbsd systems. This also includes things like pam support. I'd say that the "portable" part is almost all there is to the "portable openssh" project.
- JoachimSchipper 16y ago"Portable OpenSSH" is the result of adding "portable" to "OpenSSH". OpenSSH itself is clearly the main project.
- wazoox 16y agoBy the way the t-shirts are really cool and incredibly geeky. I have the whole set. I particularly love the "SSHerif" model, I have 3.
