+This release is OpenBSD 4.9. Then why is
+the song about 4.2? Huh?
+
+The OpenBSD 4.4 release artwork honoured
+the (Berkeley) CSRG guys for their efforts with the BSD 4.4
+release -- they fought and managed to free the code.
+
+This release the artwork is based on the stories of Douglas Adams,
+including his favorite number -- 42. Therefore we can remember
+the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.
+
+BSD 4.2 was
+not free, but it created and integrated so many new
+technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
+to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
+at this moment, to read this page -- sockets, AF_INET,
+virtual memory, etc.
+
+Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
+contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.
+
+If only we could stop slacking and make a release like that!

+How many streams must a fish swim down
+before you can call him a man?
+And how many codes must a vendor lock down
+before silicon turns to sand?
+Yes and how many times must the lawyers fly
+before they are forever banned?
+
+The answer my friend
+BSD 4.2
+The answer
+BSD 4.2
+
+How many years can a planet exist
+before it is paved by the V?
+How many years can some source code exist
+before it's allowed to be free?
+Yes and how many times can a fish turn his head
+and pretend that he just doesn't see?
+
+The answer my friend
+BSD 4.2
+The answer
+BSD 4.2
+
+How many times must we fight for the right
+to share what is already ours?
+Yes and how many times must we hitch while we hike
+To end up not getting far?
+And how many fish must we shove in our ear
+before we can hear every star?
+
+The answer my friend
+BSD 4.2
+The answer
+BSD 4.2
+
+And now we can travel the galaxy
+with ships that are silicon made
+And now with a towel and a laptop in hand
+our future is made in the shade
+And what did we use to build on and on
+Inside everything that we use?
+
+The answer my friend
+BSD 4.2
+The answer
+BSD 4.2
