Theo de Raadt says Pegasos Bad

[Batman]

The fact that Theo is a bit "egocentric" and "rude" doesn't imply that he isn't good at his job: programming and creating operating systems. This is even confirmed in that netbsd's mail.  :-)

BTW, badmouthing a very well known and competent person like Theo is a very very bad way of defending Genesi/Pegasos. :-( The next time you and your fellowship play this fair game with Theo and other very brave non amiga-people, I'll point this thread to their attention. :-D

Read the reply to Theo on that mailing list, from a coder who essentially has confirmed his impressions.

Please, don't start bluetrolling again and look at the bare facts.  :-)

[Batman]

Well, there is Diana's experience with Genesi to back up Theo's claims. I think it's enough as a proof.  :-D

The bare fact is that the non-existence of Pegasos II boards is hilarious. And we have a first poster posting it, and a Batman with less than ten posts threatening "blue trolls" here...

I'm going to feign I haven't read this innuendo. :-D

@Jope

Read carefully that thread. :-)

And read this too:

First, Theo is not a troll, he's the boss of the OpenBSD project. Read his website: http://www.theos.com/ :-D

Second, Theo is questioning only about Genesi's "customer care". Basically he's alerting everyone to not make his very experience with BBRV. Well, he has a somewhat flaming way of express himself, but when he talks, he talks with reason. Why don't ask him, via misc-openbsd mailing list, the same questions you asked me? I'm sure he will have some interesting answer.. ;-)

Third, OpenBSD's policy is always to support hardware makers that give full and free access to the documentation (Read: no NDA). Look backward in that mailing list for a thread about SPARC documentation for OpenBSD. :-D

@kennyR

What you said is very funny, so let's laugh! :-D

@iamaboringperson

Theo de Raadt is not the kind of person who spreads FUD for the sake of it.  :-(

The OpenBSD-Genesi soap opera continues, here's the teaser:

[color=000099]I also didn't want to deal with a company that, in my mind, was instigating situations by their tactics with ShopIP. I have better things to do with my time than to sit there and deal with back and forth bickering, and a company who has their corporate officers post like mad on Amiga bulletin boards, whose "users" make Linux zealots look positively peaceful.[/color]

Are you sureeee?  :-D  :lol:  :-D
