OpenBSD 5.1 Released

Yupp, all very disturbing, that was a pretty short list spanning years 02-09 though.
Just imagine all the the crap that exists in yours (and mine) linux system.

At least Linux developers admit a security-related bug is a security problem and fix it, and assign it a CVE number. None of this OpenBDSM "Reliability patch" nonsense.

I like that my BSDs let me do system upgrades without really worrying about all my shit not working anymore. Linux is total shit for this, BSD I might not have many choices for wifi, but when I update I can expect them to work. Linux every few kernel updates my wifi might fail to work correctly.

BSD sucks for being behind? I had better working wifi on windows 2000, then modern linux. I also had a better graphics stack in windows 98 then your living in the past shitty linux.

Yeah let's see if you say that when we get Wayland, how long it's going to get your BSD to get Wayland and KMS? another 20 years?

Linux fucks your BSD in the ass, get used to it.

That's why they have distros like Debian and CentOS - they're maintained to be stable.

As for your other comment, do you get better wifi in any BSD distro than linux or windows? Do you get better graphics support in BSD than linux or windows? How about audio? Not such a smart idea to bring up that point when, AFAIK, BSD is actually worse at those things than both linux and windows.

All that matters is windows has 10x better wifi and video support. Linux will always be years and years behind.

OpenBSD is probably the best at what they do - Security.

Sure they are. Until you look at what they don't count as security vulnerabilities.

This is like the line the Linux community uses about how Linux is immune to malware, even though Greg Kroah-Hartman urges people to scan their Linux installations for malware.

Windows has so much better hardware/driver support than Linux that Windows will BSOD every single time I change my hardware, while Linux will still boot perfectly and recognize all my new hardware out of the box without my intervention.

IMHO, "Security" and "Stability" comes from ➀ active testing(large user base), ➁ openness , ➂ careful scrutinization, ➃ active patching
FreeBSD prevails in ➂ and Windows in ➀. Linux scores high on average in all aspects.

We like Linux for what it is. EOS.

I wonder why that happens. Win NT is a microkernel. It should not panic just because you change the hardware. Linux should.

I guess:
Blue Shit Of Death happens.

Windows NT is not really a microkernel. It is hybrid. Linux could also be called hybrid.
