The only thing I can think off that it will be useful is filling PDF forms and even that can be done with open source readers now or more radically using things like pdftk which has just been committed.
We have in-deed asked about the Flash on Adobe web-site and were ignored much like FreeBSD for instance. We have not asked about the Flash to be able to watch YouTube but because it is unfortunately some times needed to manage consumer class routers.
One of current developers has offered in the past to sign NDA with Opera. This is the first and the last case of such an offer by any OpenBSD affiliated person. For the record he was not developer at that time. He was promptly dismissed by Opera spoke person. For the record Opera does NOT run on current via Linux emulation after most recent changes the emulation.
So, yes thank you for your suggestion. I think it is actually very, very good. I am starting a process of founding closed OpenBSD user club and only the members of that club can use OpenBSD from now on. I already contacted Theo and Bob about that matter and you can expect soon that OpenBSD cvs server goes down  |
It is great!! And please also stop complaining about Linux distros how are more and more Windows like and so and so... Live other OSes and enjoy in your OS as many people prefer typewriter machines against computer still...
Have a good one....
