Although not perhaps as well known as FreeBSD, which is the core component underlying Mac OS X, Open BSD is a popular OS in its own right. + +Version 4.1 brings a number of changes including increased hardware compatibility options which is one of the core focuses of Open BSD. Among the guiding principles of the project is this mantra: + +>No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to device support. + +However the new version isn't all about hardware there's also some significant improvements to the software as well. Open BSD 4.1 features an all new BSD-licensed <code>pkg-config</code> tool, which is a complete rewrite of the GNU tool of the same name. + +But let's face it, who's in it for the OS? The really great part about a new release of Open BSD is it means there's another of those patently cheesy songs to accompany it.
