OpenBSD

I wish that kind of attitude would stream over into some of the freshmeat
posters...

I have to concur with your statements.

OpenBSD is very well engineered. They have the
best man pages in the industry. Authors of most
of the software are too paranoid to develop/release
sloppy software.

Hi Everyone,

    I am hoping that someone can help me find a trust worthy Computer store
that I can buy inexpensive (when I say inexpensive, remember that I am a
recruiter) computer components.  I am taking on a project to complete three
computers that I recently acquired.  I need the basics, CD-ROM's, 3 1/2
floppies, memory, and some other little things.  Can anyone recommend a
place that I could go to and look at these things.

Thanks,

Anthony G. Walsh
