i'm running 7.3 pro here, and i have gained nothing in the upgrade to 
justify the switch from 7.2. this one, imho, was rushed out the door. 
better to upgrade package-by-package, with 7.2 as the base. ymmv, of 
course.

there are a few, but they're *really* niche. and there is selinux from 
the nsa, which is the real direction of things. the obsd movement has 
more, i'm afraid, to do with its kinship to netbsd, which in turn os 
OS-X, which means the availability of msft apps . . . . .

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;  
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand;
Beware the  
People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
