There is more than just Fluxbox out there. That's UNIX world, it 
is up to you and you have plenty of choices. 

Bloatware like Gnome, XFCE, KDE and other crap is available through ports. 

Minimalistic versions like fvwm, cwm are waiting to be configured to meet
your special needs. And in fact, if you cut through the clutter of options
and manpages, you might be much more satisfied than using some windows 
version where you just can tick an option on or off.

dwm in base

2012-07-10 Thread zz
Hello, 

there are a lot of nice window managers in OpenBSD base (fvwm, cwm, ...). 

I am a big fan of dwm and I think it shares the philosophy of minimalism 
which is important to a lot of BSD lovers. Also, it has a good code 
quality and is rock solid...

Is there a reason why dwm isnt in OpenBSD base installation?

I was surprised how many window managers are in base installation. 
So, I just was interested why dwm isnt. However, I understand 
that most people edit the config.h and compile dwm on there own 
and so do I. But it would be convenient to use dwm to compile my own 
dwm. 

Well, I can fork OpenBSD and make things properly :D. 

Jokes beside: dwm in base doesnt make much sense. 

Cheers

I am running OpenBSD 5.1 and a bunch of NetBSD guests with kvm and 
everything works as expectecd. 

They are all i386 machines, so you should try that instaed of amd64.

python and mercurial sucks both. Both have nothing to do with true UNIX

traffic shaping in OpenBSD

2011-11-01 Thread ZZ Wave
What solution should be used for traffic shaping on real-life, "production"
gateways with tens and hundreds users? PF queues seem to be too
"userspace"-ish and CPU consuming.



Re: traffic shaping in OpenBSD

2011-11-01 Thread ZZ Wave
For example, in FreeBSD there is "slow" pf in userspace and "fast"
kernel-level netgraph.
