"Antoine Jacoutot has given a status update for GNOME users of OpenBSD, including a short video. The GNOME release has been updated to 3.10.2, and auto-mounting of devices is now supported through a new helper program, toad. Now is a great time for desktop users to test the upcoming OpenBSD release. The ports tree was recently locked for stability testing ahead of the 5.5 release, meaning that recent -CURRENT builds are very close to what will be released in May. Antoine also addresses the upcoming issues non-Linux systems face with GNOME, such as the upcoming hard dependency on systemd."

[ED Note: I ran an OpenBSD router box years ago when tinkering about with an old PII with four NICs seemed worthwhile. The OS lived up to it's rep, but it never occurred to me to use it for a desktop system. Are any Soylentils using OpenBSD for a GNOME-based workstation?]

    I listed dates only because it demonstrates how laughably ridiculous the claim was. I know quite well that he's completely wrong. I wouldn't ask for sources from someone who claimed the moon is made of cheese, either. At best, that would make it seem that there's any possibility he's no utterly wrong, which he is. He was free to provide citation up-front, and is still able to provide them now, even though I didn't ask for them.
