Ten Years with Fugu

Tron
The Tron theme for this release takes me back to my childhood. Movies like Tron and 2001: A Space Odyssey fed my imagination and passion for science. I was a voracious reader of science fiction novels then and spent hours at book stores. So it's a happy coincidence that something I enjoy today, OpenBSD, is themed with something I enjoyed many years ago.

Fugu
I started using OpenBSD ten years ago. I downloaded version 2.5 to replace a Linux server running ipchains. That started a decade of learning about all things UNIX.

Feeling nostalgic, I searched the misc mailing list archives to read my early posts again. I found some dealing with dhcp, VRRP, fragmented packets and even a reply by the late Chuck Yerkes regarding file system quotas.

The last ten years have been a fantastic, educational journey.

Try It Out
Open source is a wonderful experience when you work with a group of like minded people. If you have a spare computer lying around and a desire to learn UNIX, I recommend you give OpenBSD a try.
