Hello!
I'm about to write an article on OpenBSD's brilliant design, mainly to make
things clearer to myself as well as my coworkers - all of whom have been
using FreeBSD for the past 15 years. All of whom have recently converted to
OpenBSD due to the need for something simpler to base our million-dollar
webapps on.
Here are the outlines. I'd appreciate some feedback. I hope it doesn't
offend anybody:
-
OpenBSD's brilliant design
Breath of fresh air in a world otherwise filled with clutter
What happens when the right people take charge
Perfection is achieved, not when there's nothing left to add, but when
there's nothing left to take away
Sexy blue dmesg
Clear and appealing project goals
Its website
Well thought out and timeless (ask anyone: wolffolins.com,
wearebuild.com, orangeriet.no, grandpeople.org)
As other websites strive to attain the latest trends (read: fads)
Remained the same for over a decade - shows that OpenBSD is willing to
stand for what it believes in
FreeBSD
ASCII nightmare (boot loader, sysinstall)
Satanic logo
What happens when a project accepts ideas from people with no sense of
correctness or good design
Its website
