A calm week, for once.
- mandoc 1.13.1 is out.
- The July/August issue of the FreeBSD Journal is out.
- A week of pkgsrc #2.
- Thinking about coming to FreeBSD from Arch.
- Steam client on FreeBSD?
- NetBSD sysinst now supports extended partitions, from an older GSoC project.
- NetBSD has a nouveau importing script.
- NetBSD has Embedded Kermit.
- NetBSD 7 has been branched.
- FreeBSD xen can now manage physical hardware.
- OpenBSD distribution is moving, so last chance on some of the merch.
- If you just want to donate to OpenBSD, here’s a conversation about it. (hint: CDs)
- tcpdump on OpenBSD is ancient; if you need circular logfiles, there’s manual ways to do that.
- Now’s a good time to check on the roadmap for Lumina, PC-BSD’s desktop environment.
- A video conversation about FreeNAS and TrueNAS.
OpenBSD’s tcpdump(1) is a fork, it has features that upstream tcpdump.org does not. It runs filters privsep to reduce the attack surface. FreeBSD only just recently got something like this with the Capsicum work.
It also can dump raw 802.11 frames, which, I’ve never seen work on FreeBSD or Linux. :-)
So what happens to all the old OpenBSD stuff. I’ve been meaning to buy some T-shirts of theirs. DragonFly ones too. We need a DragonFly store like OpenBSD does. Anyone good at graphics?
