Pre-orders are now being accepted (also in Switzerland) for OpenBSD 4.4, which is scheduled for release on November 1st, 2008.

Again, the developers bring us an amazing amount of cool new stuff (WPA, DSR, OpenSSH 5.1, a new malloc and lots more). There's also lots of third party software available pre-packaged for easy installation.

This year's theme touches on the special version number, 4.4, reminiscent of the historic release of 4.4BSD-Lite in June 1994. The release song (ogg, mp3) pays homage to the heroes of the CSRG at UCB (Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick).

Of course, a t-shirt and a poster are available too. Order your set NOW!
