: With OpenBSD one can simply set the CVSROOT enviornment variable
: to "anoncvs@anoncvs.openbsd.org:/cvs" and get read access to the
: OpenBSD cvs tree -- no special account required.   [assuming you 
: have IP access and a recent version of cvs installed (e.g. 1.6)]    
: A "common joe" should be happy with that?

	I've never hear about OpenBSD before. Please someone enlighten me
	what's it? What are the project goals? What is current state of it?

: FreeBSD's sup and CTM service sound pretty good too (pretty quick
: sup scan cycle).

: cheers,
