    And make sure you listen to the release song too. It's great :-)

    Unlike 3.3, which made it months before a single security-related patch was issued, 3.4 LAUNCHES with 3 such patches.

    That said, it's such a huge release in terms of changes made (x86 Write or eXecute memory pages, for one) that it's more than worth the upgrade.

    As with most such fundamental updates to OBSD, though, I expect this release to be significantly patchier than the last couple.

    1.6 Gbit/sec of AES-128? Damn, I gotta get me one of these!

    This is before optimization is done, and according to Theo, this is what they are doing right now. The chip is capable of 12.5 Gbit.
