The Songs 5.2 to 6.0 - OpenBSD Release Music
2OpenBSD is a free and open source Unix-derived operating system well known for it's focus on security ant it's claim of having "only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!". It's also well known as the progenitor of other very important FOSS projects like the OpenSSH, OpenBGPD and LibreSSL suites and the PF firewall. The project is led by Theo de Raadt and it's most recent version is OpenBSD 7.6 released in October 8, 2024.
The OpenBSD community has a tradition of releasing sets of songs and artwork to celebrate the releases of the OS. From versions 3.0 to 6.0 these songs were released in CD format with the physical release of the corresponding OS version, as well as in three compilation CDs. As of version 6.1 of the OS all songs as well as the OS itself are released exclusively through the project's homepage.
