OpenBSD 4.5 Released



Theo de Raadt has announced the release of OpenBSD 4.5, a BSD operating system with a strict security philosophy and advanced security features:

We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.5. This is our 25th release on CD-ROM (and 26th via FTP). We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote holes in the default install.
