Re: Because Theo and various users told them that the projects GnoBSD and Comixwall were worthless and that they weren't contributing to OpenBSD?
Look if you don't want to use OpenBSD don't use OpenBSD. If you are so easily swayed over just because someone said something then it's your fault, don't blame others. I like OpenBSD and I will keep using it as long as there are developers that keep it going. No matter what anyone tells me I can't be persuaded to do otherwise. Have a nice day!

You might be interest in using a cheap VPS from Vultr. You can run it on demand, if you need only X hours of use you only pay X hours.
Re: Quick and dirty way to have OpenBSD running on Linode
Since I am on topic! If you want to run OpenBSD on DigitalOcean check this: http://www.tubsta.com/2015/04/openbsd-on-digital-ocean/ Remember use snapshots, not release.
Re: DigitalOcean's BSD debut is FreeBSD only
Thanks for sharing this. This is awesome, best news in all day. I was using Debian but when this is ready, I will use FreeBSD.

OpenBSD MinGW Error: windows.h: No such file or directory
The following applies to OpenBSD 5.5 & 5.6, I didn't tried this with any
previous release. I am runnig OpenBSD in VirtualBox.
This:
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/mingw-1.0.1p3
Says that all you have to do to compile an exe is:
$ export PATH=/usr/local/mingw32/bin:${PATH}
$ g++ CreateFile.cpp -o CreateFile.exe
But I get a bunch of errors. After googling and trying a few things,
I got this to work by doing it this way:
$ g++ -I/usr/local/mingw32/include CreateFile.cpp -o CreateFile.exe
I tested this solution with the provided test code in the pkg-readme &
a very small non GUI program I did for a school assignment. The exes
worked fine in a Windows7 x64 virtual machine.
Is this the obvious solution to the error or am I doing something wrong?

Why does OpenBSD lack a man page for ulimit?
I could expand about what caused my need for more memory, but I don't think that would be relevant. I am just really curious about this issue since everything else seems to be so well documented, this certainly seem like a weird phenomenon on OpenBSD. When I need to do something I can usually manage fine with just the man pages but I had to use Google to know how to use ulimit.
