OpenBSD 4.8 Released

Mortimer.CA writes "The release of OpenBSD 4.8 has been announced. Highlights include ACPI suspend/resume, better hardware support, OpenBGPD/OpenOSPFD/routing daemon improvements, inclusion of OpenSSH 5.5, etc. Nothing revolutionary, just the usual steady improving of the system. A detailed ChangeLog is available, as usual. Work, of course, has already started on the next release, which should be ready in May, according to the steady six-month release cycle."

    Sorry, but there continued rejection and misunderstanding of MAC destroys any security credibility they may have built up.

    Not to mention they don't actually consider many exploitable bugs to be security bugs, and argue with researchers rather than fix things.

    Sorry, but OpenBSD is not any more secure than say, Debian Stable. Except Debian comes with SELinux, and since it can actually protect against exploits, wins by a longshot.

    You know how I upgraded BSD? I installed Windows.

    "bullshit" is rude? Really? Maybe should avoid the internet, or indeed any grown up environment.

    No, "bullshit" is rude.

    It's not as rude as "shut your fucking mouth before I rip out your throat and shit over your tonsils, you moronic cunt" but then again it's not exactly "I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid I beg to differ, and can provide reasoned backup for my argument."

    I doubt you'd say "bullshit" to your boss or granny if you disagreed with them.
