[rescue] fuck you Theo

[Joshua Johnston]

Personally, I'd like to be able to buy an OpenBSD CD set.  But I can't
because I don't have any money. Pretty simple reasoning there.  If
anyone here does make a bootable Sparc ISO, please contact me off-list
if you have someplace I can get it from.  One of my Sparc machines has
no floppy drive and that's left me with pretty much just Solaris 8 to
install.  And with 24M of RAM, that isn't going to happen.  

I've heard a lot of stuff about Theo, and really don't know what to
think.  His attitude reminds me a lot of a certain individual who makes
a firewall distribution of Linux, that just annoys me no end.  But from
what I've heard, Theo doesn't run around threatening lawsuits at the
drop of a hat.  So I'll consider him "okay" if annoying by reputation.

I don't see what the big fuss is about. So they don't offer an ISO. Get
over
it. EVERYTHING you need to make your own is there and free for the
taking.
I would not wanna have to pay for the hosting of the FTP site to DL the
OpenBSD ISO's if they did exist.

So, with only a little effort, and it seems more effort was put into
complaining, you too can have a working ISO.

Personally I buy the CD sets. Nice to have them at the ready to do an
install. And this helps the OBSD project. Just because you find yourself
at
odds with personalities of the project's leader does not deminish the
quality/usefulness/whatever of the product. I am tired of the petty
personal
grudges that seem to go along with the mention of OpenBSD.
