OpenBSD 3.5 Released

Posted by michael on from the security-takes-work dept.

pgilman writes "The word just hit the announce@openbsd.org mailing list: "We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 3.5. We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of eight years with only a single remote hole in the default install. As in our previous releases, 3.5 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system" including security, hardware support, software ports, and lots more. Support the project if you can by ordering the cds, or grab it from the net (use a mirror!). Thanks to Theo and the whole team!"

    That's the story in general with Linux. It's not well designed...

    Don't want to start a flame war here... but,
    while PF may be one of those tools that adds more
    security than it takes away, that means *nothing*
    if the underlying platform is swiss cheese.

    OpenBSD is a philosophy, not just another
    operating systems and that's something you may
    well want to consider before just bandying about
    PF for whatever operating system catches your
    fancy this week.

    Theo is too BSD to give away ISO's.
