Here it is!

We are back and present you with the June issue of BSD magazine. As you may have noticed, this month’s issue is a little bit thicker than usual and we hope you enjoy all the content!

We get started with Ivan Rambius Ivanov and his „Introduction to OpenSSL: Command line Tool” article followed by the What’s New sectionwhere you will find a short summary of the BSDCan 2011 conference written by Josh Paetzel, and Dru Lavigne who will introduce us to the recently released FreeNAS 8.0.

In the Developers Corner we will meet Antoine Jacoutot describing an OpenBSD success story, Justin C. Sherrill sharing news about the DragonflyBSD project, and Kris Moore who shows us how to install FreeBSD with the PC-BSD installer – PC-SYSINSTALL.

In this months How-Tos Rob Somerville introduces us to GIS in what seems to be a promise of another series of his. Then you will find Sufyan bin Uzayr’s article teaching how to deploy a Cloud OS on BSD, and the third part of the Mutt series written by Michael Hernandez. Also in How-Tos you will find a cover story – „NanoBSD and ALIX” written by Erwin Kooi.

In the Let’s Talk section we have articles from Girish Venkatachalam and Mohammed Farrag, as well as a First of BSD Certification articles written by Jim Brown.

In the end we prepared an Interview with Rafał Jaworowski from Semihalf – an embedded hardware and software developing company which makes great use of BSD in their work.

I wish you have a good read and feedback is always welcome!

Kemarin secara tidak sengaja baca-baca artikel di Kernel Trap eh ga tau-nya ketemu postingan tentang interview Theo de Raadt disini. Buat teman-teman yang belum tahu siapa itu Theo de Raadt, Theo de Raadt adalah pendiri proyek OpenBSD yang terkenal dengan slogan “Secure By Default” Sedangkan biografi Theo de Raadt sendiri bisa teman-teman baca di halaman Biografi Theo de Raadt di wikipedia atau bisa main langsung ke Halaman Pribadi Theo de Raadt langsung

Nah yang membikin saya kaget yaitu adalah ada beberapa perkataan Theo de Raadt yang menurut saya hm.. , contoh-nya seperti dibawah ini :

1. Slackers are called slackers, people who can’t read manual pages are called losers, and in general, calling things what they are results in developers wasting less time.
2. OpenBSD development has a long tradition of stealing free code from other projects, and then improving it
3. However, one learns how to write code by reading code. One doesn’t learn how to ride a bike by reading a book, either

Waw… mengejutkan bukan ?? Perkataan dari seorang tokoh sekelas Theo de Raadt Penasaran membaca arsip lama ini ? Saya posting disini supaya gampang nanti cari-nya , jika penasaran yuuk kita baca sama-sama
