OpenBSD 4.0 Review</a>, Software In Review, November 1, 2006 |
|
</strong></font><br> |
|
"In an era when the next edition of Microsoft Windows is pushed |
|
back more than a year, and popular GNU/Linux distributions are |
|
almost expected to have their release dates delayed by weeks or |
|
months, it's nice to know that at least one operating system releases |
|
on schedule without all kinds of showstopping bugs and problems. |
|
OpenBSD 4.0 was released on November 1 with its usual mix of new |
|
hardware support and enhanced operating system features." |
|
So opens Jem Matzam's review of the new 4.0 release. |
|
Jem gives a brief overview of the project, discusses |
|
several of the most important new features, evaluates |
|
his installation and use of the system on a desktop and a notebook. |
|
and offers a few recommendations for future developments to make |
|
the project even better. |
|
There's even a link to the Wikipedia article on |
|
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humppa"> |
|
Humppa</a>, for those who may have heard this term but not |
|
the music behind it. |

CARP demotion, ipsecctl replacing ipsecadm, hardware support for disk/bioctl, |
