from the Next two weeks no sleep Department dept.
For a change, the OpenBSD 3.9 release is far ahead on schedule:(at least in Europe ;-)
Thank you to all those who have been placing pre-orders, this weekend
I'll start shipping out the poster and Tshirt only orders. I've been
told the 3 CD set will be delivered on schedule, that means that
those will get out next weekend! One month ahead of the official
release date!
Those who have not gotten their pre-order in, should place it asap as
orders are shipped out first come, first served: Orders International, Orders Europe

Indeed!
Finally got the company I work for convinced they should buy a CD set for every machine that we own.
Now also to buy my copies....

Yes Wim, unleash the tiger en you!, the cds: Theyre Grreeeaat!!
And I just spent more than a day rebuilding the kernel with the newest ath driver in the CVS repository to find out if there was support for the AR5213 chipset (and there wasn't!), and it turns out I could just have waited for another week or so to test it on the 3.9 release!
Anyway, this is good news. Looking forward to receiving the 3 CDs.
Great to see it, but I think the Sendmail vuln. came too late in the cycle to have the latest version included. I love a clean install, without having to worry about patching, this time it's going to be install/patch.
I would just like to say that the best thing OpenBSD has going for it is a native version of Firefox. That way I can hop on the Internet without changing to a Windows box. I went throught the gyrations for Java, and thanks to those who created the port. I need to use Flash for some management of a few of our network devices - Tipping Point IPS - but I don't want to try Opera under Linux emulation just to have flash. Here's a vote for a native Flash, somehow, some way.

Flash must die.

maybe one day GameSWF/gnash will be useable. of course on the emulated front, there still isn't a flash plugin 8 for linux heh.

I want flash, but I don't want to use flash. Wow, that's pretty brilliant. What exactly are you afraid of, do you think the evil "linux emulation" is going to set your computer on fire? Molest your dog maybe?

We want {Wireless,SCSI} but we don't want to include blobs, we want it our way. Is this any different?

Yes, it is totally different. He is whining on an openbsd site to have some random software that is in no way related to openbsd ported to openbsd. Talk to the people who write that software. And he said nothing about open source or free or anything like that, just a native openbsd version.
Maybe you should try reading before responding?

i would definitely recommend against leaving linux software alone with any small mammal.

I think you need to improve on your reading skills before shooting your mouth with a useless reply.

it might molest my computer and set fire to my dog.

There are plenty of open source flash implementations available.
i think i will get an extra one for each day of the week:P well may be not that many for myself...but a few for some friends.

Looks like the fix is easy though. The patch on FBSD is adding a single line (148) that reads 't = 0;'
No exploits for this one yet.

pinkfloyd, what hunk of TippingPoint hardware do you believe uses Flash? Lots of java, certainly, but I don't recall any flash in anything shipping...

Same here, Tipping Point is Java based. On the other hand, some Cisco stuff is Flash, the management platform for the acquired Airespace Wireless stuff uses Flash to show all the graphs. Why did they go that route? Beats me. Sometimes you just refuse to drink the koolaid they are handing out.
