Posted by Hemos on from the free-willy dept.

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."

    Keep up the pressure! This is a step in the direction of liberated video driver code.

    RMS has been visible on the video driver front as well: http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/rms-ati-protest .html

    If the theological debates could be set aside, a unified front may help sway the video card manufacturers.
