OpenBSD 3.2 Available

fredrikv writes "Right on time, the files defining OpenBSD 3.2 have moved away from "snapshots" to the 3.2 directory of the OpenBSD mirrors. It is well known as the world's most secure operating system and now sports chroot'd Apache, fewer suid binaries, cool pictures for xdm-logins, a brilliant "antispoof" packet filtering rule and as usual includes lots of small updates and fixes. The files are there. What are you waiting for?"

What Am I Waiting For?

Common Criteria certification so it can be just as secure as my Windows 2000 boxen!

Well ..

[Mr_Silver]

The the files are there. What are you waiting for?

5:30pm, 8 pints of lager, one dodgy kebab and a chance to yet again make a piss poor attempt to chat the attractive barmaid up.

Well you did ask!

I'm waiting

[swillden]

What are you waiting for?

Ummm... a Linux port?

Say wha?

I guess the Slashdot outage over the past 10 minutes or so was due to the installation of Apache mod_stutter.

barmaids get slashdotted by drunk guys every night. i recommend you search your neighbourhood for a mirror so you can have all the bandwidth to yourself.

Well, it's only at version 3.2. I'm guessing version 3.3 would be like the third service pack of version 3, and it seems you can't get certified until SP3. I'm sure they'll get there soon enough.

I don't think so....

Hear that sound? It's the VMS users (all 8 of them, currently, unless Fred's VAX killed his mains power again and he switched to OSX) choking on their lunches in laughter.

Surely this would only work if you were a hopeless narcissist.

I thought the most secure OS was Windows 95. With NIC support like that nobody should be able to connect to your computer.

Wrong. The most secure OS in the world is the one that you cannot load onto a computer. So I use the next best thing: OpenBSD.

What you don't hear is the thousands of OS/400 users quietly chuckling to themselves. "Kids..."

That's great! I'm sure they'll be happy to accept your code to further the SMP cause. That is, unless you code like you spell.

[OpenBSD is] the world's most secure operating system

It's well known that MSDOS is the world's most secure operating system.

No network access and so completely secure from remote break in, and if anyone breaks in from the console there is bugger all they can break and no one cases what they do anyway.

Security by obsolescence.
