OpenBSD 4.6

The new version of OpenBSD has been released! Yes, they are more than 10 days ahead schedule, since OpenBSD is usually released May 1st and November 1st.

I upgraded my router with this new version and before doing so, you should read the upgrade page (which I didn't).

Of course my firewall configuration was not working anymore, so I had no internet access because I was using scrub statements which are not there anymore. Rules need to be rewrite a bit.

The installer seems to have changed, some questions were different… and since I was going too fast through the process I installed X related packages (they were selected by default even if I haven't installed them before).

Anyway, OpenBSD is still working nicely, using nearly no CPU and few MB of RAM. I really like this operating system for my router, I install it and forget it (until the subsequent release).

    The 4.6 song is not so good, waiting for a better one to install a new version, at least as good as 4.4 ;)

    Shame on me, I haven't listened to it yet. OK, let see. Well, I agree with you, 4.4's song is one of the bests.
