The purpose of this web site is to journal my experiences using BSD operating systems on a number of different hardware platforms. Historically, this site has been devoted almost entirely to NetBSD. That is changing for various reasons. Most of my core business servers are running OpenBSD. I also have some servers running FreeBSD and NetBSD.

The majority of my time is spent using Mac OS X on a 17-inch MacBook Pro and using OpenBSD on an IBM Thinkpad X31 and Sharp Zaurus SL-C3100.

I am now adding regular entries over at The BSD Journal Blog.

August 28, 2008 - I have done a little bit of housekeeping on this site. I have not updated anything for quite a while. More updates should be forthcoming.

May 10, 2007 - I have added entries over at the BSD Journal Blog about running OpenBSD on both a Thecus N2100B and a Sun Fire V100. Entries have been added below as well.

April 1, 2007 - It is time for some much needed updates. I added some OpenBSD/macppc entries in the OpenBSD ports list. These include three servers I am presently using. I also adding some new updates over at the new BSD Journal Blog.
