I've become a fairly loyal OpenBSD user in the last 3-4 years. The base OpenBSD load includes a substantial amount of network capabilities, and is cleanly implemented. It's almost too cleanly implemented, to the point of making me

I prefer Debian as a workstation, though I tend to use FreeBSD for storage (ZFS), and OpenBSD for network edge servers.

American Cloud has an OpenBSD beta out. I'm sure they'd be happy to have more testers.

I think maintaining the MUA access to the mail server is one of the more complicated issues. A globally accessible IMAP or POP3 service faces a lot of abuse. These days, I use MUA's the that read directly off the spool. Old fashioned,

I worked through the first 9 chapters of the Touretzky book as a preparation for PAIP recently. It's very thorough. If you work through the exercises in the book, you'll learn a lot.

It depends on the kind of beginner. GNU Emacs has a built-in tutorial to get started on using the editor. After that, there's an introduction to Emacs Lisp as part of the info documentation in most packaged versions of Emacs. Extending

I owned a 3B1 back in the early 90's. It hosted my personal email delivered by UUCP. Seeing FreeBee is a blast from the past to be sure.

Much nicer than my setup. I have three small form factor PCs running OpenBSD tied together with a small Netgear gigabit switch. Each has an external drive for backups using rsync and dump. Copies of the backups are made to another drive for

I love the form factor of the TI Voyage 200. One still sits on my desk at work. It gets used for small problems, usually via the home screen or its little spreadsheet.
