Hi, I have FreeBSD 12 VM running on my Openstack cloud, I would like to create OpenBSD image from source from same FreeBSD VM using build release. Is it possible to create OpenBSD 6.7 qcow2 image from FreeBSD 12.1 build host? Thanks in Advance, Niks

Hello, In any case you cannot run, install,... FreeBSD, which other option would you have ? e.g. OpenBSD, NetBSD, ... which one would be the best alternative ? thank you! With best regards

I do have a few questions about the difference in between OpenBSD, FreeBSD and GhostBSD. From what I know ( I do welcome any correction), GhostBSD is a distro based on FreeBSD. OpenBSD is a fork of NetBSD that concentrates on the purity of the code base and security. I guess if you're looking...

I read many times OpenBSD is the most secure system and it have a minimal code base which affect to its security. I'm curious how OpenBSD is secure comparing to other operating systems from BSD family (mainly FreeBSD, NetBSD and HardenedBSD) and comparing to any hardened Linux (for example...

Hi. My name is vall, and I am sick with the NIH-syndrome. :eek: Not a big joke, but actually. FreeBSD has a lot of contrib software from others BSDs: - from OpenBSD there are mandoc (with mdocml, apropos) m4, lagg, dhclient, pf, carp, crypto, ssh (with sftp, sshd), x86emu, grep, make, netcat...

–Hello Friends I would like to formally announce a new and exciting project taking place in the FreeBSD community. My name is Parisna I'm the c.e.o and founder of a Seattle, Wa based startup binchōtan inc.. Our company has enjoyed working with FreeBSD, since our founding February 2nd, 2014. We...

I was trying to dual boot both FreeBSD 10.3 and OpenBSD 6.0 on my machine by installing the two OS's to different disks and selecting the disk I wanted in the bios. This was successful until I mounted the FreeBSD disk within OpenBSD (and neglected to add a readonly option). The FreeBSD system no...

Not that it's something very important, but it is now possible to install OpenBSD on a GPT partition and double/triple/whatever boot it with FreeBSD etc. And since I like having a collection of different OS's on the same drive, I couldn't resist trying this. Going this way you secure an...

Last year the OpenBSD developers created an alternative to "sudo" called "doas". The doas program has a simpler configuration file and is quite small, keeping the code tiny and, one hopes, secure. I have ported the OpenBSD 5.9 version of doas over to FreeBSD 10.3 (with a lot of help from the...

Hi! I open this thread to talk about which BSD flavour has the most updated ports/packages. For example, sometimes I develop some Java app with NetBeans IDE on Linux, and I see in freshports.org the last version ported to FreeBSD is the 8.0.2 version. Now where is a "freshports.org" for OpenBSD...

Hi, on OpenBSD the command /bin/cp does not support the command line parameter -a. That makes it currently un-impossible to install npm fibers Is there an updated /bin/cp that I may use, that supports -a? Thanks for a short hint Tom

Hello. Do any OpenBSD-related forums exist? I'm planning to buy a new laptop, and I will probably install OpenBSD as its operating system, because its graphics card seems to be supported by DragonFlyBSD and OpenBSD, but weirdly not FreeBSD, the biggest and most popular BSD. Do you have any...

I want to try moving from Linux to *BSD for a programming environment. However, from reading online chat, the three major versions sound about equally good. How do they compare in these respects? System analysis. How are the facilities for tracing and logging bugs? Community support for bug...

Wanted to use two 1TB USB drives using RAID-1. My choices are NetBSD 6.0, OpenBSD 5.1 (5.2 wasn't released a few days ago) and OpenIndiana. I did not try FreeBSD. After a few failed attempts of trying raidframe on NetBSD I gave up, although I did actually have it setup according to the...
