Well, my main workstation died, so I have to re-purposed the OpenBSD box as my workstation running <a href="http://www.archlinux.org">ArchLinux</a>. I am hunting for a suitable replacement.</p> <p>Oh, and Happy New Year!</p>FreeBSDOpenBSDsaUnixhttp://www.duckland.org/posts/201401tale-of-install-2.htmlWed, 08 Jan 2014 23:01:00 GMTTale of Installshttp://www.duckland.org/posts/201311tale-of-install.htmlDon Harper<p>So, I am starting a new personal project at the house, and I need a new server. As I was wanting to learn more about the *BSD, I started looking around at things like <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a>, <a href="http://www.netBSD.org">NetBSD</a>, or <a href="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a>.</p> <p>Since there was a security part, I started with <strong>OpenBSD</strong>. One of the things I noticed quickly while doing my research is that while there is a lot of documentation, they do not really seem to care about making it easy for new folks to join the project, nor are the trying to support new-fangled hardware, like <a href="http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/bootable-OpenBSD-USB-stick-from-windows-td223393.html">bootable USB drives</a>. This strikes me odd, as FreeBSD has <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html">instructions (see 2.3.5)</a>.</p> <p>Since I want to use pf, I am going to stay with OpenBSD for now.</p>FreeBSDOpenBSDsaUnixhttp://www.duckland.org/posts/201311tale-of-install.htmlThu, 21 Nov 2013 23:11:00 GMT
