OpenBSD 2.7 Released

dragonfly_blue writes: "Just wanted to let you know, OpenBSD 2.7 is out, with significant advances; including OpenSSH2, better Linux binary emulation, DSA encryption, and (my personal favorite) support for encrypting your swap space. Theo and the gang have also expanded the ports and packages collections considerably, so get 'em while they're hot!" (More.)

ocipio contributed some more tidbits, writing: " ... OpenBSD 2.7 improves support for high end system boards, SCSI controllers, ethernet interfaces, and adds gigabit ethernet drivers and IPv6 networking. OpenBSD's cryptography has been further enhanced by encrypting virtual memory swap space, and by more flexible ISAKMPD key exchange and operating modes for IP Security networking." To keep things interesting in BSD Land, he adds "According to Jordan Hubbard, FreeBSD's release engineer, FreeBSD 3.5 will be released June 20th."

Cool on all counts. Way to go, BSD crew! (And Thanks! to everyone who pointed out this release.)
