OpenBSD 4.4 Released

Posted by kdawson on from the fresh-daemons dept.

Linux blog writes "The new version of OpenBSD is available for download. There are lots of nifty new features to try out including OpenSSH 5.1 with chroot(2) support, Xenocara, Gnome 2.20.3, KDE 3.5.8, etc. Machines using the UltraSPARC IV/T1/T2 and Fujitsu SPARC64-V/VI/VII are now supported. It seems amazing to me that they keep delivering these new results on a six-month release cycle."

    Congrats to the OpenBSD team.

    In related news, NetBSD 5.0 should be released soon, too.

    BSD proves Netcraft wrong again.

    Indeed, BSD is not dead at all. In fact I took a look at their mailing list archives last week and saw more than half a dozen very active threads. Shame they were all flame wars.

    Linux is only at 2.6.27.4, as if we're back in the 1980s. Though unix-like systems in general are relics from the 1970s.

    I certainly don't mean it personally, so that's good.
