OpenBSD 3.9 Released

An anonymous reader writes "OpenBSD 3.9 was released this morning and is now available for download from the OpenBSD mirror sites. Among the new features is integrated framework for monitoring hardware sensors, a BSD licensed driver for nvidia nforce ethernet, and loads of new drivers and bug fixes. Of course you can still purchase the CD-ROM set which includes support for five platforms: i386, amd64, macppc, sparc, sparc64, and also includes the complete blob free source tree and prebuilt packages for many architectures. As always your contributions help to continue the devlopment of this great opeating system."

    sparc, as well as sparc64? I know it's über to have an old Sparcstation IPX running Sendmail under your desk, but seriously, isn't it time to let sparc die? If its ANY work at all to maintain outside of the sparc64 tree, let it go. Also, I for one, welcome our ppc overlords, as my G3 running YDL (at the moment) is an excellent combination. PPC is not nearly as dead as Sparc, or as *BSD, for that matter. (joke, not a troll!)
