OpenBSD 5.6 theme song available

Contributed by Andrew Fresh on 2014-09-25 from the dah-dah-dah-daaah-dah! dept.

The OpenBSD 5.6 theme song is out and unsurprisingly the it is the story of how bad things have to get before forking a project is the correct answer. These are some of the motivations behind LibreSSL and how seeing nginx headed down the same path turned into the new httpd.

(MP3 7.3MB) (OGG 5.3MB)

OpenBSD 5.6 CD2 track 2 is an uncompressed copy of this song.

The httpd manpage link is about twice my laptop (Thinkpad X61) screen width. This used to be better.

  Would that not be your web browser's fault for not wrapping?

  Well, I'm sure the page will be at
  OpenBSD order page
  like always. Other officially endorsed options show up on the web page about Ordering OpenBSD.
  I've noticed the main order page now says, about the "Current Release on CDROM" (for 5.5):
  "*** MAY BE SOLD OUT: Please do not combine with other items -- we will hold orders and not debit credit cards or ask for payment until we see if we get some returns from other dealers later this fall."
  Were there fewer made? (I recall around that time reading BSD funding shortfall, so maybe there was attempts to go leaner this time.) Or were there actually more sales this time (perhaps in response to more people wishing to support the project)?

    OpenBSD 5.5 was the first release to be signed using signify(1). Some people bought CDs to get signify(1) and the public keys for OpenBSD 5.5 and 5.6.
