What's sad is that many people will read comments like ours and not get it.

http://www.openbsd.org/errata53.html

The page you linked to is not updated as often or as thoroughly. Errata ('Patches' link on the main page) is the page you want. Sorry for the confusion.

Forgot to add, after you uncomment the subpixel stuff, just do a `make && sudo make install && make clean` from the `xenocara/lib/freetype` directory.

Also, repeat the same after each snapshot upgrade, as the X sets will overwrite it every time, naturally. Don't forget to keep it updated as well, with `cvs up`.

Also, there are some nice fanless Mini-ITX boards out there with dual gigabit, which is all you need (plus a case for a board and a switch, of course).

M350 enclosure is popular and cheap.

It goes without saying such box will smoke anything you can buy of-the-shelf. Hell, even the anemic ALIX Geode gave a nice boost to my home network over the crappy Linksys I had previously (things are now snappy and 100% stable).

Soekris now has new models with Intel Atoms, top quality stuff as always (old ones are rock solid too, if a bit dated). I went with ALIX instead as I had a local distributor so it was quite a bit cheaper. Plenty fast for now, too.

The fonts are looking nice and sharp for me:

I fetch freetype via CVS from xenocara tree:

    cvs co xenocara/lib/freetype
Apply the subpixel patch (the Adobe CFF stuff is already default in -current):

And use the following `~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf`:

You might also want to delete `/etc/fonts/conf.d/30-lucida-aliases.conf`.

Packets already flowing through 5.4 -release on my 'lil ALIX home router. Workstation on -current, of course.

There is nothing quite like OpenBSD out there. Thank you OpenBSD developers!

OpenBSD on either Soekris or ALIX and you are done.

Sorry, we crossed paths, by the time I deleted the original yours was already posted.

Glad to hear you like the idea. It was an eureka moment for me :)
