Thanks to Han Boetes and others for writing us about this:
More interest from the Linux-crowd for OpenBSD. Unlike the deep technical stuff from kerneltrap, this interview is more aimed at beginners. Seems like a pretty decent interview where Theo explains the basic concepts and ideas behind OpenBSD. Have a look at it over here.

As posted by someone else before, this article is not meant for gurus or the like, but more a basic introduction to OpenBSD.
Sure, all the information can be found on the webpage, but the same counts for just about all articles that aren't technical. If basic articles/interviews are such a bad thing, why wasn't the media coverage with the TV spots a couple of days ago assessed the same way?
Media coverage is media coverage, whatever the technical content is.

The people reading the article might visit the OpenBSD home page after they read the article. However before they read the article, they might not have even known that OpenBSD existed.
As they say in PR circles, any publicity is good.

Once I figured out how to configure the sound, and once I had a port of quake, I found out I never ever rebooted under linux...
It's been that way ever since: I never installed linux again on any of the machines I've owned...
I've been coincidentally using linux accounts here and there when I didn't have my boxes around, and I'm managing people who do run linux, mostly because I believe people should run what they want, not what they're forced to.
But I no longer need linux... haven't needed it for over five years.

Guess I am not very interested of trying Linux (especially with the new ``it's not up to us to do quality assurance work on the kernel, but to the distro vendors'' 2.6 model) on the other 60.

any openbsd developer can say that never read lunix source code, at least. So imo they can say something about lunix quality. However, we already now the answer, so they don't need to tell anything :D

It is more than believable that an OpenBSD developer would have never seen the Linux source code. For one, they wouldn't be able to use any of the code that they've seen due to licensing issues. For another, the OpenBSD team seems to be doing just fine on their own.

if you say that they never read lunix ou slowlaris or any other OS code you don't now what are you talking about, sorry.

Why is writing 'lunix' annoying? I don't know, maybe it's only annoying to me. Seems a bit juvenile.

That's why I just switched to OBSD on my laptop when 3.7 was released. Quite satisfied now. :-) So much more refreshing to have a more reliable system.
