Phoronix: OpenBSD 5.1 Released

Six months after OpenBSD 5.0 was released, OpenBSD 5.1 is now available with a modest number of changes...

- Some of the package highlights for OpenBSD 5.1 include GNOME 3.2.1 (only with the fall-back desktop mode), KDE 3.5.10, Xfce 4.8.3, Mozilla Firefox 3.5/3.6/9.0, LibreOffice 3.4, Mono 2.10.6, and Chromium 16.

While in Linux we have:

• GNOME 3.4
• KDE 4.8.3
• Xfce 4.10
• Mozilla Firefox 12
• LibreOffice 3.5
• Mono 2.10.8 (I'd rather not have this POS)
• Chromium 18

So in Linux we have the latest and greatest of everything, BSD as always is 10 years behind in everything they produce.

Don't compare OpenBSD to your average bleeding edge linux distribution, they have totally different target groups.
OpenBSD is probably the best at what they do - Security.

NetBSD don t like users.They like to port everything to a toaster
Only FBI users like OpenBSD
DragonFly is good only for clustering.


FreeBSD is the only system for casual users. And still they don't have a good rendering infrastructure.

There are only one good BSD distribution .It's PCBSD.I think they need to port all infrasctructure (package management) to Linux .

Well... don't know why you quoted me as your response had nothing to do with what I said.
I kind of agree, but if OpenBSD is good enough for "FBI users" they are probably on target.

So they get paranoid about "security" at the cost of being 20 years behind in everything? Yay!

Isn't UMS considered a security issue?

Ok, so now they are 20 years behind and not 10 as you said in the previous post... 20 years.. hum lets see... No they are not 20 years behind when I look at the package list (not 10 either), not even close.
But that is really besides the point, they are not paranoid about security - it is what they do. It is not an operating system for the average person who want a cool desktop to install.
It has a specific puropse and it does that very well.

Yupp, all very disturbing, that was a pretty short list spanning years 02-09 though.
Just imagine all the the crap that exists in yours (and mine) linux system.
