What's changed?
Recent O'Reilly interview with OpenBSD developers.

NYCBSDCon 2006 presentations:

• Marco Perreboom: bio and sensors in OpenBSD (slides). audio
• Jason Wright: OpenBSD/sparc64 (slides). audio
• Bob Beck: PF, it is not just for firewalls anymore (slides). audio
• Bob Beck: OpenBSD spamd - greylisting and beyond (slides). audio

I've listened to Jason's Sparc64 talk and it was really good. Lots of interesting stuff.

Recent BSDTalk interviews

• BSDTalk interview with David Gwynne.
• Marc Balmer
• Christoph Egger (not a dev, but talks about OpenBSD +Xen)
• Bob Beck

Recent Audio:

• 4.0: Humppa Negala
• From the audio cd celebrating 10 years of OpenBSD releases: OpenVOX <<--HILARIOUS! :laugh:

Remember, your order helps support open source software installed more often than Linux. Order a copy today! It's worth it for the stickers alone!

Happy Humppa to you all.

EDIT: Formatting.

Someone's already posted a review. Still reading it.

Even though I don't use openBSD, the more you read about it, the more you realize how important is truly is - especially some of the techonology that comes from the group. Hopefully when I get myself a real paying job one day and get myself out of college I will definitely make regular contributions to help keep their project afloat because even though I don't directly benefit from their tech, I surely indirectly benefit from it!

A lot of people don't realize how much they owe OpenBSD. Anyone that uses OpenSSH owes them a lot, hence the donations from the Mozilla foundation and Google (as well as others).

Will Backman (of BSDTalk fame) writes about his experience at NYCBSDcon 2006.

BSD is Dying, a talk by Jason Dixon at NYCBSDCon 2006. Both slides and audio. It's pretty funny so far, and I'm only 5 minutes into it. :laugh:

EDIT: Screwed that post up pretty royally...

Thanks. I need to stop trying to do these things while I'm doing 10 other things.

I'm considering using this, just to distance myself from the Windows/OSX/Linux wars. When you say you run OpenBSD people are like "huh? what's that?"
