The image accompanying the OpenBSD 4.4 release is a bit different though, with a take on a classic Star Wars poster from 1977.OpenBSD goes a step further with the official song for OpenBSD 4.4 - Trial of the BSD Knights which is hilariousSearch further
04/10/2008 Relevance: 9.23Never mind that what I really need is an up-to-date"Absolutely OpenBSD," but since I'm in an I'll-take-what-I-can-get mood, I just secured a copy of"The Book of PF: A No-Nonsense Guide to the OpenBSD Firewall," which for all practical purposes is the most up-to-date book out there that has at least some focus on OpenBSD. In this book by Peter N.M. Hansteen, I hope to get somewhat up to speed on PF, the packet filter that originated in OpenBSD but which now is available in the other BSDs as well -- though not in Linux.Search further

08/28/2008 Relevance: 8.89I've been trying to mount a Linux filesystem in OpenBSD 4.2 for awhile, and finally I figured out how to do it (and do it automatically at boot) without screwing up either my OpenBSD or Linux partitions. I have a tutorial on this about 1/2 of the way done, but this was another situation where the excellent OpenBSD FAQ and man pages, as well as a couple of good general Linux/Unix online resources gave me all the help I needed. (I can never remember quite how to make chmod do what I want without looking it up.)Search further

02/07/2008 Relevance: 8.69I've tried OpenBSD before, and I always said I'd try it again. In the interim, I was able to try OpenBSD in a desktop configuration with the OliveBSD live CD, and that made me want to try a hard-drive installation of OpenBSD, which not coincidentally is the only one of the three major BSD projects (which include NetBSD and FreeBSD) to boot on my test machine. As was the case the last time I installed it, OpenBSD went on the box without a hitch. I created a user account, added it to the wheel group, which gave me sudo privileges, and I added the path to an FTP site for the precompiled packages to my .profile file. That enabled me to begin adding applications.Search further

02/09/2008 Relevance: 8.61Why a desktop installation of OpenBSD? It's a legitimate question. According to Distrowatch, among the three main BSD projects (they don't like to be called"distros"), FreeBSD is way out in front -- and is the base for PC-BSD and DesktopBSD -- followed by OpenBSD and NetBSD.Search further
