Bug Busters! OpenBSD 5.1 Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the something-free-in-your-neighborhood dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Today the 5.1 release of OpenBSD has surfaced. As usual, it includes improved hardware support, but also OpenSSH 6.0 and over 7000 ports, with major performance and stability improvements in the package build process (and some really cool stickers). Here's the changelog, the download page, and the CD-ordering page. "

    This is true, but the base install is pretty limited, so it's hard to compare, really.

    (I think it's been three holes since the dawn of OpenBSD, by the way).

    That said I still use it on some of my outward-facing stuff. PF is great. The pre-chrooted httpd is nice. Some other parts, not so much, though... can't think of a good example right now, but once in a while I run into things that amaze me with backwards-ness compared to my linux boxes.

    Oh, and the documentation is a work of art compared to linux. That's a really nice feature.
