Ah, the OpenBSD elitists! Een maand geleden geprobeert om mijn mirror te laten registreren en het werd afgewezen. Kort daarna ieamand anders hetzelfde geprobeert en opnieuw neergeshoten. Het is een kleine club met mensen met ego's van hier tot in America. Ze mogen dan wel een zeer goed product uitbrengen, maar hun community is kak.
