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!"

    Be at the Burlington Mall in Burlington, MA tomorrow, in the Food Court near Quiznos at 5 PM EDT. I'll be the guy shaking your hand. Then we can end this "I never met anyone IRL that runs this" farce.

    When the only tool you have is an axe, everything looks like fun. :-)

    Another thing, if Linux's "iptables" interface to netfilter challenges you, then you have no business using computers at all.
