Highlights of the new release include a new privilege-separated smtpd; numerous improvements to packet filtering, software RAID, routing daemons, and the TCP stack; a new installer; and lots more. Grab a CD set or download from a mirror, and please support the project (which also brings you OpenSSH and lots of other great free software) if you can."

  1. Looks like a typical OpenBSD release by fadir · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Rock solid, thought through and very conservative.

    They have their niche and do their best to serve it as good as they can. I'm very glad that this project exists even though I don't use OpenBSD but various of its offsprings (OpenSSH/SSL, etc.) only.
    Theo is a very controversial person but at least he keeps the project on focus and going. Congratulations for that and best of luck for the future.
    I don't see myself using OpenBSD anytime soon but I know a few people that do and they are happy with it. So keep going, the community needs you!
