not spaced like so) was enough to cause majordomo to bounce it to me.

Hi!
I know this is some kind of religious/emotional issue but how does
OpenBSD affect us users of Net/MacBSD? Since there is no Mac-specific
OpenBSD kernel only the user-land (is that the right term for
non-kernel stuff?) sources are interesting. Can I simply compile the
OpenBSD stuff and use it? Can I mix Open- and NetBSD tools? Are the
OpenBSD tools "better" (less bugs, more features, more secure, etc.)
than their NetBSD counterparts as Mr. d e R a a d t claims ? Has anyone used
OpenBSD on a Mac?
I don't want to join the Open/NetBSD flame war which sometimes rages in
the *bsd newsgroups so all non-technical comments are silently
discarded but this mailing list is suspiciously free of personal
attacks or insults anyway. :-)
Bye,
Jerry
