OpenBSD 5.1 Released

[kraftman]

Size of library is the same. So it just seems.

The size of the library is just one part. There are also other possibilities like header files in ELF library or GCC optimizations. You probably didn't check with the same GCC version.

I mean It's not logical, but forget about it.

I meant it's logical when the mode 2 is set.

This is what Microsoft did.
If everyone would speak it's own language, so they wouldn't understand each other, they would be smarter?

Yes and thanks to this MS was very strong in many areas. The difference is there are people who care about being compatible with others and there are people who don't. I support interoperability in things like web, but I don't care when comes to other things. Those who are stronger dictate rules.

As I said everything was "strip -s". Optimisations are -O2 on Arch Linux and I think it's the same on Ubuntu where I checked eglibc. Arch Linux has a bit newer GCC. Header files are only needed when compiling. Both libraries where the same version 2.15.
eglibc is glibc with few patches, it can't be so smaller.

Particularly in a monopoly.

So you don't care if your application is portable or not?

All he cares about is that linux is #1, he is actually worse than a mac fanboy its really sad to read.
This 'community' at phoronix is very close minded, they just want to replace MS's monopoly with
one of linux.

They are to cheap to buy windows or a decent pc that can handle windows 7, so they roll linux.
They then login to phoronix to troll any topic that is not about linux, spewing great comments about
how amazing KMS and udev is (lol).

But you have probably much older GCC in OpenBSD, so it will be good to check the same version. Also, you may find answers here:

I don't care at all. However, most applications are portable between Linux and BSD.

A MS fanboy has spoken. That's true when comes to first words in your sentence, but you forgot to say Windows has to die. Only fools want Windows to remain #1.

I won't ever buy Windows 7, that's for sure. My PC can handle it, but I can't. It seems to be better than XP in some things, but coming back from Linux to Windows is like selling a house and going to live under the bridge. You're not safe with it. Let's change topic and comment how great antivirus software I discovered yesterday. This is what Windows fanboys like talking about. I forgot to add is broken crap and paying for crap is stupid (except when you're a gamer).

They're not *much* old and he's doing an apples to oranges comparison. Doesn't count.

*
Not much old, KDE 3.5.10, which was released in August 2008. Nearly 4 years, but no, is not old.

They don't even pickup Trinity which offers a fixed version of 3.5.x series (currently 3.5.13).
Gnome is not that old, but have been unsupported for a while too (more than a year).

One of the things I learned in school about security is to keep your software up to date. And surely they don't.

I did know Alpine Linux, but I didn't know it can run XFCE, Firefox and other desktop required bloat. I will try it.

I want to use same OS for server and desktop.
All web browsers are bloated, because web standards are bloated. And I hope wayland won't be bloated, but maybe i'm to optimistic.
I actually don't need acceleration for my desktop use.

You can try Arch. The only mayor shortcoming it had was the lack of package signing, but not anymore. While some people might argue about the occasional breakage rolling can bring, installing a server only once is priceless.
