Theo was fairly nice during this interview, but I have a few points to make.
1. lm_sensors isn't perfect, but I've used it on lots of hardware and 'sensors-detect' always seems to make it 'just work' for me. I've never had to hand configure it (and I'm glad too because the config file looks insane).
Hopefully though OpenBSD will really do something better and we can learn from them. But I'm pretty happy with lm_sensors as it is.
2. Curious about the NVIDIA nForce issue, because afaik there's a reverse engineered driver in there. Haven't ever used it...
But it's not like Linux guys don't go out of their way to reverse engineer all the time. Hell, we're just now pushing for bcm43xx in mainline finally<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
3. I agree that OpenSSH deserves funding. As long as the distinction between OpenBSD and OpenSSH is made (I understand from the OpenSSH website that that distinction can be made, but a lot of people don't seem to be really comfortable with it).
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
OpenSSH Funding, etc
