Stallman's moral arguments are compelling. Theo's moral arguments are impeccable. There is more Unix tradition in OpenBSD than there is in any modern Posix compliant system, where most projects change their interface needlessly, OpenBSD is a classic where much documentation is in effect timeless.

OpenBSD's man pages are a work of art. There's a cohesiveness to the base that "feels" like concrete, like you can build anything on top of it.I can't think of a lot of software projects that claim "correctness" as a goal. Aerospace, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD, SQL(?) and some academic exercises?! I

hmmkay, so both disklabels have an sd0b, softraid is pointed to sd3b for swap, but dmesg still prints 'swap on sd0b dump on sd0b' I'm assuming this is because sd0b is striped? I figure it's worth a shot on my test system, if it's quicker, I'm not opposed to the little bit of configuration up
