OpenBSD 5.0 Unleashed On the World

Posted by timothy on from the sir-this-encryption-appears-nearly-unbreakable dept.

First time accepted submitter tearmeapart writes "A new version of the operating system that most of us would love to love, but probably hardly ever directly use, has been released. As scheduled, release 5.0 brings support for more hardware, network improvements, and OpenSSH 5.9. The links: changelog; download; main 5.0 page; and how to order your OpenBSD products!"

    So it's not corrupted by the utter crap that is Gnome 3 and Unity? SIGN ME UP.

    It is crazy to think that shipping gnome 2.32, OpenBSD 5.0 has become much more desktop-friendly than Ubuntu.

    The only reasons we think OpenBSD is secure are:

    1) OpenBSD supporters said so.

    So we should all realize that OpenBSD is overrated. Because you said so.
