I Just bought a Lenovo 3000 N100 768 DKU most everything works fine however this notebook has a Intel Core Duo and the networking hardware times out on the bsd.mp kernel
I JUST posted a message with both dmesg's to the misc list Sam Fourman Jr. On 10/26/06, ropers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Too late for that for me, I had to use the whole "Look Boss, it's > free" line along with plenty of documentation that OpenBSD is as secure as > it gets for them to let me put in the first OpenBSD box.

OTOH, if I wait half a year and we haven't gotten the Windows 2003 server rootkitted again by that time, I may have a much stronger case. "Look guys, this seems to be doing us some good right here..." It prolly works in OpenBSD's advantage that the software can be paid for after the fact. You wouldn't believe the politics and red tape that's getting in the way of buying and deploying just about any additional security product. "We've already got our antivirus program, now why would we want to buy an antispyware program.?" "We're already using Firefox, now why do we need a firewall?" Slightly embellished, but in the broad strokes that's what took place. I am not making this up.
