OpenBSD 5.1 Released

[LightBit]

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 think older GCC will make it smaller. OpenBSD is not heavily optimised.

Yes, I have found the answer: don't use libc and code in assembler!

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.

I'm already using it. I don't think it is the best solution for server. It's rolling release is too fast.

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.

Most OpenBSD users use other DE's. Also DE doesn't pose very high security threat.

Don't use glibc may be the answer for you. If you care that much why don't you ask at glibc mailing list or irc?

You'll probably be more comfortable with Debian, RHEL or Ubuntu, because they're not rolling releases and you don't have to pay as much attention when you upgrade system. In rolling releases configuration may change. I like Arch as much as Ubuntu, but I was just using it on desktop.

I didn't ask, glibc is bloated.

It depends on your needs. In some cases it's not bloated at all and in some others it is.

... so that way, we can just cut-n-paste all of this same utterly "useless-immature-crap" from this thread, into that one.
