Download OpenBSD 5.4

On Friday, the new semi-annual release of OpenBSD came out. On this page a comprehensive list of ftp and http download locations can be found. OpenBSD descends from the original Berkeley Software Distribution and has the characteristic that the developers only want to use open source software. Furthermore, the operating system is known for its excellent documentation and safety. As usual with a new version of OpenBSD, there is also a new theme designed around the operating system, accompanied by a real theme song and available on audio CD, as a poster and as a T-shirt. As the title of the theme this time they chose Our favorite hacks. Extensive release notes can be found here, here are some highlights:
