From the OpenBSD Journal and the release page :
As you can now easily tell from the OpenBSD main web site, OpenBSD 5.5 has been released.
Looking at the release announcement and other sources such as the release page , it's easy to see that there are numerous goodies in store for you:
  • A whole new traffic shaping system to replace ALTQ
  • Cryptographically signed base sets and packages
  • Automatic installation features
  • Improved hardware support, and more
Also, from OpenBSD 5.5 onwards, OpenBSD is year 2038 ready and will run well beyond Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC. The entire source tree (kernel, libraries, and userland programs) has been carefully and comprehensively audited to support 64-bit time_t.

OK - interesting, but what's the point of an encrypted MP3 player: so no one knows you like and listen to Miley Cyrus or something? Or are you interested in the video formats: ok, so no one knows you are carrying a pocket device full of pr0n or something? Hardly seems useful to me.

On the other hand, some buddies and I rooted through a colleague's ipod one day when he walked away from his desk, and we've ridiculed him mercilessly ever since about his taste in music. Maybe if it had been encrypted we'd still respect him ...
