================================================================================ Why OpenBSD? The operating system we are using is OpenBSD. It is based on UNIX. OpenBSD emphasizes security, good documentation, and software freedom. OpenBSD is free to use, study, modify, and share.

There are several reasons for why IRCNow did not choose Linux. One reason is because most popular Linux distros have become so complicated that most users have no ability to understand its internal workings. On Linux, it is easy to install software without the need to read documentation. However, software we don't understand is very difficult to troubleshoot or customize. It is also nearly impossible to fork. IRCNow is focused on practical open source: source code that average users can read and understand. OpenBSD gives us a system where normal users like you and me can read, patch, and fork so our network can have full control over the software we run. ================================================================================ Next Task Read the file 'filesystem' to learn more: $ less filesystem ================================================================================
