Dear Readers,

Director: Ewa Dudzic

ewa.dudzic@bsdmag.org

First of all I would like to thank all people who are helping out

with making BSD mag a reliable source of information and

interesting reading for all of you, for devoting their free time and

a great involvement in this project. This magazine is not only a

work of the editorial team, but the work of the community of BSD

users and professionals.

Since it is almost Christmas Time, and we won’t have

another chance to „talk” before it comes, I would like to wish all

of you such passion and devotion you prove being the part of

our team for the next year

and all following years as well. Hopefully some of you will

find this issue as your Christmas present;)

This issue focuses on NetBSD. Since all distros are equally

important for us, we try to share our pages fairly between all

BSD distributions. I am sure each of you will find something

interesting in this issue, independently on the distibution you use.

All in all, it is still BSD!

Patrick Pippen shows you step-by-step how to install NetBSD

4.0 in a form of an easy to use tutorial. Benny and Thorsten

introduce MirBSD -the „peaceful” operating system. Jan look at

live CD’s based on BSD and David prepared a ver interesting

comparison of Opensolaris, FreeBSD and OpenSuse.

In a how-to’s section, our regular contributors, Eric and

Michele show you how to start up the conference room or chat

server for your Jabber service, and Carlos start his series about

GDB with debugging process. The security section is prepared

by Henrik, who goes through the steps needed to implement

Pelude IDS on NetBSD, and Marko shows some of the best

solutions for encrypting in BSD family operating systems. For

those more advanced, Edd demonstrates how to make your

own packages for OpenBSD. In the multimedia section Donald

shows how to teach our Slugs to play music.

As usual, Federico made a great interview with NetBSD

developers: Simon Burge, Antti Kantee and Greg Oster. Last but

nor least, is a great review of Dru Lavigne’s The Best of FreeBSD

Basics by Peter N.M. Hansteen.
