" OpenBSD 3.2 Is Back on Track:Well, the article is pretty mixed, and really stresses OpenBSD in your network infrastructure (and not on the desktop, where I am currently using it). Still a generally positive review. Oh, and the "back on track" refers to the security vulnerabilities found this summer.http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,666887,00.asp
Well lets call it a rave, this is a serious magazine and a very good report about OpenBSD."

nice to see obsd getting press but i dont think the article had much merit. It wasn't intended to be a technical document, but i found teh conclusions to be biased and lacking

One thing that people often seem to overlook though: binary patches can easily be produced. A previous article here on deadly was focused on that. The URL was:

It is quite simple to use. Ever since I started using it, I never had to update my source tree to -stable and rebuild all, and I compile only once.
