It's out. Why not give it a try?

I'm glad to know Open BSD uses a blowfish logo. As a Christian, I am forbidden from using FreeBSD or BSD licensed software due to the satanic mascot.

Although, to be honest, I've always thought the GNU mascot looked rather occultic as well. Moloch anyone?

Got a nice laugh out of me, OP. I already upgraded to 6.2 though. There genuinely are no graphics drivers for OpenBSD, so I use it on my server.

>No closed source botnet drivers in the kernel
But it does install non-free firmware without asking. Only freetards care though.

There are valid security-related reasons to want open firmware.

already have OpenBSD on my T60, just might install it on my desktop now

I started using OpenBSD weeks ago in a VM. I wanted to learn the basics of installation with disk encryption, update the base system and ports, and using the cwm window manager, among other basic usage. I got a laptop just to use it exclusively so I'm very happy 6.2 comes out so I'll just install it, as I already learned how to copy the new installation kernel to the encrypted disk and update the installation.

and almost no network card in existence has that

What about LibertyBSD?

reminder to filter libertybsd

Yes, because most network cards are closed-source hardware.

Did you know that end of the world is coming? Signs of God are all around us.

It's the same thing, so just as good.

Why not GNU/BSD?

debian was teh only distro to have a stable release and then had to give it up because of systemd

It's not given up.
You just have to know where to look to download the 8/9 installers and you'll have to use community apt sources. I still got it around

I am more excited for a possible Source Mage GNU/BSD repo.or.cz/w/grimoire-witchcraft.git

What's the point of GNU/BSD

To use an inferior userland. I truly don't know.

You can just install the GNU utilities from ports desu

Use DragonflyBSD. It isn't stuck in the past like the other bsds, plus the logo is cool

>But it does install non-free firmware without asking
Stop using non-free hardware and it won't.

Is HAMMER2 out yet?

I just installed 6.2 on a Powerbook G4.

How long does it take for packages to become available on the ports system? Nothing is listed for powerpc and macppc.

When they first get built. Takes a while for slow architectures like powerpc.

honest question. why do you still use your g4? what's the point, it's old, slow and probably consumes a lot of power

>No closed source botnet drivers
Is this true? I thought this was why LibertyBSD was made? Can anyone confirm?

all the drivers (read: everything that runs on the main cpu) is open source

some drivers load firmware blobs onto the device (eg network card with internal cpu)

the difference with libertybsd is not that it loads free firmware onto those devices, but that it doesn't support those devices at all. you can get the same effect with openbsd by simply not buying hardware that requires such firmwares

openbsd defends their position by saying this is functionally equivalent to what most hardware does, which is keeping firmware blobs on a rom on the chip, and it's hypocritical for gnu to condemn one and not the other. to be honest, openbsd is right on this one

I found it in e-waste and wanted to see if it would still work.

Now I have an architecture other than x86 and ARM.

I want RISC-V hardware to start coming out ASAP, so I can get Berkeley on Berkeley (Open/Net/FreeBSD on RISC-V, both come from Berkeley).

Keep your cancer in one thread.

Thanks. I haven't really made up my mind on the whole copyleft vs permissive thing, but I do like to keep informed.
If I understand correctly, the firmware is something inside the hardware itself and OpenBSD considers it part of the hardware while LibertyBSD consider it as software? Or something like that.

>no song yet

Why are you so afraid of BSD, user?
