» OpenBSD 4.3

If the main page at OpenBSD.org is to be believed, OpenBSD 4.3 has officially been released. The scheduled release date is May 1, and in some time zones (but not this one) it's May 1 now :)

There are, of course, advantages to pre-ordering the official CDs (besides the obvious advantage of supporting the project): I've had my copy of OpenBSD 4.3 since last Friday, and I've already installed it in a few places. It should be available on the FTP mirrors now, though.

Edit: I just received the official release announcement email. There's a list of changes since 4.2 at http://www.openbsd.org/plus43.html.

» Multi-Distro Release Party A Success

In the immortal words of sontek, “Tonight was amazing!”

The Multi-Distro Release Party was a grand success. Around 30+ people, plenty of drinks, food and oh yeah, three Linux distros were discussed along with one proprietary-ish OS. Fun was had by all and even a new Linux user came and got Ubuntu installed, Christer must be proud.

Heartsbane brought his apocalypse box to install Fedora. It was quite the sight!

Shauna Theobald from the OSTC provided the pizza and decided also that it would be fun to surprise yours truly with an early *surprise* birthday party. All I can say is that I was “blown away”, and “thank you”. That was a pretty nice thing to do…

And while we were all having fun, the kids were getting into it too!

As it stands, the Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, OpenBSD and Mac OS X Release Party was a grand success. Here’s all of the pics from my camera.

Cheers,

Clint
