Ey, nice project!

And appears just on time... I was missing an alternative to Wordpress 
for my not-caring-about-never-used-features fellows. Will give it a try :)

Dear friends,


Please stop spamming the list about your project.  I'm happy to see it
exists, but I think it's inappropriate (and annoying) to email misc@ on
a daily basis (4 days now).  A more appropriate venue would be the
OpenBSD Journal.  Why don't you submit a story?

P.S. Today's promotion of liveusb-openbsd is bordering on zealotry.
Zealotry is stupid and attracts users we don't want in the first place.

P.P.S. I think I need to go blog about this now.

I think you're talking to the wrong crowd.  Before anyone else
says it; take your religion elsewhere ;-)  Most people here
don't give a shit what other people use.

Please use this to convert people to OpenBSD

[Girish Venkatachalam]

Dear friends,

People have the mistaken idea that OpenBSD is meant for the creme de
la creme or  the
privileged crowd.

That is absolutely and patently false.

OpenBSD has all the elements of true UNIX. We are very friendly but we
are choosy about
who our friends are. ;)

Anyway jokes aside, kindly download this image

http://liveusb-openbsd.sf.net

and read this article.

http://linuxjournal.com/article/9787

I have configured mplayer OSD menus in the stick image.

You can run this and show to disbelieving Linux or *buntu enthusiasts.

Guess what?

You can even convert Windoze folks. Mplayer is that sexy.

Try it.
