[Kees]

"Genesi announced that OpenBSD for the Pegasos PowerPC motherboard has now been integrated into the official OpenBSD source tree - which can be found at http://www.openbsd.org. This support, implemented by Dale Rahn, is based on the original Pegasos motherboard with support expected shortly for the currently available Pegasos II motherboard. IBM has awarded OpenBSD for the Pegasos the Ready for IBM Technology logo. OpenBSD, currently at release 3.4, is the worlds premiere Unix-style operating system for installations relying on strong security ...

Genesi will also be appearing at the ShopIP Security Solutions booth at the upcoming InfoSecurity 2003 event in New York City on December the 8th-11th. Genesi will have the Pegasos II running OpenBSD 3.4 on display."

Good, good. I like to see we're getting more and more nice OpenSource OS. Keep up good work guys! But Im going to stick with my GNU/Linux. I was running *BSD ages ago on 68030@42 Now that was crappy experience. :-D Now with G4@1GHz it would be something compl. different!

Don't forget, OpenBSD is not focused on performance, but on stability, reliability and most of all security.  It has a niche that it fills nicely, being one of the most secured OS's in its default install.  I, for one, now wish I had 3 pegasos, one for my firewall and 2 for daily use (one MOS one Linux).
