Six-monthly releases: OpenBSD shows the way
,----[ Quote ]
| De Raadt says that by the time one release
| takes place, the developers are already six
| weeks into the next development cycle. "The
| release is a branch off the main development
| tree. In many other projects, it is a live
| branch, as in a separate team cuts it off
| and then keeps making minor tweaks to it to
| make sure it is a good release (why? that is
| because the mainline is crap).
|
| "In OpenBSD, the release branch is a dead
| branch. The day it split from the trunk it
| was determined to be good enough for making
| a real release. Without any changes. That is
| because the trunk is good stuff."

DIY pfSense firewall system beats others for features, reliability, and security
,----[ Quote ]
| For one, there is a higher degree of
| reliability. Running on a full computer
| system makes it infinitely upgradeable. It
| can be extended to do more than just shuffle
| packets back and forth. You can turn a
| simple firewall into a full intrusion
| detection system. You can analyze and track
| bandwidth usage. It can be a VPN end point,
| a Web proxy, DHCP and DNS server, load
| balancer, handle automatic failover, and
| provide great diagnostic tools.
|
| pfSense, a firewall system based on the
| FreeBSD kernel, can handle all of this and
| more.
