Re: Why are so many people running and writing about current snapshots

What's happening right now is OBSD-misc is doing in 6 months what RH and MS do in ten years. Questions like this are like hitting the stop button on a production line :D Peter N.M. Hansteen is keen to answer questions like this. https://www.facebook.com/groups/openbsd.newbies/ There's a regular

Re: Why are so many people running and writing about current snapshots

Distros like RHEL have longer release cycles because the industry they service demands them. The fact that the kernel project maintains releases as far back as 2012 only re-enforces the business. There's no need for 'puffangelism' on this subject as OBSD is by no means alone in six-month

Re: Why are so many people running and writing about current snapshots

To answer your original question: yes, 6.3 is almost here. We've been running this schedule of twice a year releases for *decades*, so you as a fan of stable OpenBSD releases should be familiar with the time frames by now, no? On Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 8:31 PM, Z Ero

Your specification and requirements are so clear. But this isn't a pony shop. Who cares what you want? Really, noone. > I just don't want OpenBSD to turn into Linux where the fixation is on > newest shiny thing rather than doing code right. Sometimes I think > people who are excessively

Re: Why are so many people running and writing about current snapshots

I just don't want OpenBSD to turn into Linux where the fixation is on newest shiny thing rather than doing code right. Sometimes I think people who are excessively interested in bleeding edge features more want an OS for tinkering with than an OS for production / work. I want something stable to

Why are so many people running and writing about current snapshots

Is 6.3 release almost here? Is that why? If you are using your computer for production and are not actively developing / debugging OpenBSD why would you run a current snapshot rather than the stable release? Just curious.
