What do you do now? Do you still use OpenBSD?

• SixSigma 11y ago
  I got fed up with programming data driven websites (I'd been doing them since the 1990s - I'm 46) so I got qualified in AutoCAD, got a job as a draughtsman, did day release in Manufacturing Engineering, got into Six Sigma (I'm a green belt) and am currently doing a degree in Supply Chain Management with a focus on Computational Logistics. I still use OpenBSD for myself, I went from BSD/386 -> FreeBSD -> OpenBSD. I've never really liked Linux (I'm in the "GNU is not useful" camp) and Free became less attractive over time. I feel most at home on Open. I don't use Plan9 for much atm. which makes my heart ache.

    You might be able to use Plan 9 in userspace with 9vx. Thoughts? Or is it just too much hassle to deal with both worlds, when OpenBSD covers most of your needs?

      Although it is a great technical accomplishment I never got on with 9vx. Plan9port is my usual first installation on a system and plan9 in qemu so I can drawterm in and do stuff. When I say I don't use Plan9 it is because of a lack.of technical need. I do a bit of Javascript hobby stuff and my Uni work / consultancy is done in Python because of the pervasiveness of Windows.
