Choose OpenBSD for your Unix needs. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. Creator of the world's most used SSH implementation OpenSSH, the world's most elegant firewall PF, and the world's most elegant mail server OpenSMTPD. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland and the cleanest configuration syntax.

It would be interesting to hear how OpenBSD deals with the issue Ubuntu is attempting to address here. This comment, however, is neither interesting nor is it, apparently, related in any way to the topic of this post or the content of the article.

  Theo is against virtualisation, and there is no support for it (you can of course do it anyway with full hardware emulation). "You've been smoking something really mind altering, and I think you should share it. x86 virtualization is about basically placing another nearly full kernel, full of new bugs, on top of a nasty x86 architecture which barely has correct page protection. Then running your operating system on the other side of this brand new pile of shit. You are absolutely deluded, if not stupid, if you think that a worldwide collection of software engineers who can't write operating systems or applications without security holes, can then turn around and suddenly write virtualization layers without security holes."

Though I don't have any experience with OpenBSD myself, I read somewhere that it was hard to virtualize.

Why use Pf when you can use a more advanced fw like Iptables?

Choose Tide for your laundry needs! Choose Glisten for the whitest teeth! Shameless.

  You can actually use bottles of Tide to purchase drugs, if you ever get sick of washing clothes. So in a way, Tide might be the best laundry detergent.
