Download OpenBSD 5.6

The new semi-annual release of OpenBSD came out on Saturday. 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, a new theme has been 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 Ride of the Valkyries.

New in version 5.6 includes LibreSSL, a fork of OpenSSL, and a new httpf server with support for FastGI and SSL. The long list of improvements is over this page to find.
