OpenBSD 3.8 Released

Cowards Anonymous writes "OpenBSD 3.8 is out. It comes with improved hardware support, some improvements to the OSPF daemon, some new RAID management tools, among many others. Even if you plan on installing via FTP, why not order a CD copy, tshirt, or poster as well? "

Nothing to see here...

NetCraft confirms it: BSD is NOT dead!
It has just turned into an invisible super-natural being that will come and bite you in the ass, YOU FAT PENGUIN!
Eh, I'm joking. Don't mod into oblivion please, pretty please...

lose weight?

OSPF daemon?

[dsginter]

OSPF daemon? That's the name of my dog!

I love ordering shirts from OpenBSD over some other places because they have XXXL on their site!

That's why I order condoms from them. [/rimshot]

Too late for DotGNU

[RAMMS EIN]

Alas, the release comes too late for the DotGNU project (their website has just been defaced).

Another release song!

[Gathers]

I've never used OpenBSD, but I really like their release songs!

I wish Ubuntu also had that tradition..
(and no, "Badger badger badger badger" is to my knowledge not an official Ubuntu release song)

they have them at think-geek as well..

click on the outdoor camping tents, or circus tent section.

I strongly suggest you take up smoking and a cocane habit. It's better for your health and the current lifestyle you are living.

ONTOPIC: T-shirts

[ehack]

I want a T-shirt with that politically-incorrect image of the BSD-demon and the penguin, after -hours.

Maybe we could have a post from the peng.cx guy ?

Note: This post is on-topic as T-shorts were specifically discussed in the original item.

Installing OpenBSD was one of the most painless installs I have ever experienced

Ever installed DOS?

Would you trust?

Would you trust an operating system that had a remote hole 8 years ago?...

That's the [Chet] Atkins diet.

I wouldn't dream of trying a new flavor of *BSD...

[sootman]

... until I read a review of it on Slashdot. You know, one where someone who has never used it before gives it a spin for two days and writes a 5 page review: 3 pages on the installation, 1/2 page talking about how the default theme looks, 1 1/2 pages complaining that it didn't work with his sound card or run his monitor at the right resolution, and then concluding by saying Mac OS X is better.

Re:or you could give us a torrent link...

[ajs318]

Given that it's released under the BSD licence, which everyone on Slashdot knows is so much better and freer than the GPL, who exactly do you think is likely to stop you creating your own ISO images?

Although seeing as it's OpenBSD, which is famed for being para .... er, security-conscious, almost nobody is going to want to download it if you do create one .....

I don't do mail order. If its not in a bookshop then as far as I'm concerned its not out there.

I know what you mean. I don't do that newfangled Internet stuff - if I can't type it up on my Leading Edge D and send it in to a BBS, it's not really communication.
