- thaumaturgy 17y agoAll validation aside, it does explain why that was one of most factually sparse articles I've ever read. I can't imagine that Theo is going to take kindly to OS X and Solaris being cited as "two of the best operating systems in the world" in an article in which he was extensively quoted. Theo's personality and opinions aside, I've been a fan of OpenBSD for a long time, and it really is a solid operating system.
- antonovka 17y agoOpenBSD has done a lot of interesting work with networking software over the past few years, too: OpenSSH - No explanation required pf(4) - A fantastic stateful firewall. CARP/pfsync - Zero downtime automatic router/firewall fail-over. sasyncd - Zero-downtime failover of IPSec tunnels. relayd - layer 3/7 pf-integrated load balancer OpenBGPd, OpenOSPFd - Free BGP/OSPF implementations.
- thaumaturgy 17y agoI have a passionate and sordid love affair with pf. :-) OpenSSH has had some issues in the past, but everyone uses it. Also, don't forget their recent work with guard pages (I think?) that exposed heap problems in a bunch of userland software.
