RMS (yeah, Richard Stallman) made a fool of himself on misc@openbsd when he made repeated incorrect statements about OpenBSD. And when people indicated this to him, he tried to shrug them away saying that they were "mistakes" on his part. Theo rightly calls him a "liar" and an "hypocrite".
Whatever respect I had for Richard as a "leader" has rapidly diminished and reached zero. Read it and judge for yourself.

Writing CD
Assuming that your CD device is cd0, and you wish to burn image.iso to the CD, execute the following command "cdio -f cd0c tao image.iso" as superuser.
Writing DVD
Assuming that your DVD device is cd0, and you wish to burn image.iso to the DVD, do the following (as superuser):
1. Install "sysutils/dvd+rw-tools" from ports
2. growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/rcd0c=image.iso
Note that the raw device is used here (rcd0).
More details on burning CDs' or DVDs' through OpenBSD are located in the FAQ here.
- Only two remote holes in the default install, in more than 10 years!

One more remote hole in the default install of OpenBSD. The count now is two. I guess it is the latest security advisory (Incorrect mbuf handling for ICMP6 packets) for pf(4).
Though I am a newbie on OpenBSD, I quiet like the OS, for its simplicity (both while installation, and later on), and its approach towards security (I'd rather take a performance hit, than being compromised).
