OpenBSD 4.0 shipping and arriving in Canada!

Contributed by sean on from the something-pretty-this-way-comes dept.

My small pile of discs arrived yesterday.

The new cases are fabulous and unlike every release prior they have resisted the abuse of the postal system.


The extra room allows for more artwork and the materials give the impression of a higher quality production than past releases. Maybe that could be jaded by no smashed cases or disks this time around?



Seeing as this is a DVD case the arrangement of the discs is a bit different with the AMD64+Song disk (#2) on under the leaflet (also bigger and badder and still using a tiny font) and the other two disks on the right side. Since the case is clear there is artwork on both sides of the case wrapper.

Without even evaluating the contents of the media it is the most impressive release yet. If you haven't yet, go buy yours now!

    just out of curiosity, what is the print run (I think it's called print run; the number of copies) of the OpenBSD CD distribution? - thanks!

    The DVD case looks really nice, much better than the old CD cases.

    I received mine on friday, the dvd case are really nice.

    One thing, am I the only one to notice that two pages of instructions are swapped ? Pages 7 and 8 (with 1 being the front cover) got the artworks in the right order, but not the instructions.

    Anyway very good work on this release, this is the first one I bought (I started using OpenBSD some months ago), but definitively not the last one.
