OpenBSD 3.1 Released

Posted by michael on from the prickly-pear dept.

Telent writes "OpenBSD 3.1 is out. I've been using a -current snapshot from April as my desktop, and this is truly an amazing release with lots of new PF tricks, improved driver support, and many other cool things. Get it from the master site at ftp.openbsd.org, or use a mirror when possible. Even the release art kicks butt. Enjoy!"

  1. MicroBSD by chrysalis · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Has anyone looked at the MicroBSD project yet?

    It's based upon an OpenBSD-current kernel (so you get PF and all the great OpenBSD stuff), with FreeBSD tools, an hardened installation, custom additions and ports, a stripped-down base, etc.

  2. Re:What? a Daemon? by cperciva · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Originally, OpenBSD used a daemon; the fish came from BlowFish.

    It happened, however, that people were starting to assume that daemon meant FreeBSD at around the same time as BlowFish became popular, so the openbsd crew decided to use the fish as mascot.
