jschauma writes "The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce that NetBSD 1.6.1 has been branched and the release engineering process has begun. NetBSD 1.6.1 is a maintenance (or patch) release for users of NetBSD 1.6, not to be confused with NetBSD-current (which will become the next major release). As a patch release, it is not branched off the head of the CVS source tree, but instead includes all security fixes and patches applied to the 1.6 branch. A complete list of changes since 1.6 is available in src/doc/CHANGES-1.6.1 of the branch, which can be checked out by passing the -rnetbsd-1-6-PATCH001-RC1 flag to the cvs command: cvs -rnetbsd-1-6-PATCH001-RC1 co src. Details on the release cycle and status information is available from www.netbsd.org/releng/releng-1.6.html."

Nice, small, clean system, which is consistent across loads of architectures. Love it.

Anyway, if anyone is reading this page, will there be any improvements to Sushi? That's the little setup tool for NetBSD -- nice boxes/windows/text-based affair, but it was full of bugs and glitches in the first 1.6 release.
