OpenBSD is a lightweight operating system designed with code correctness and security in mind. The project has released OpenBSD 6.2 which features many new drivers, particularly for the ARM architecture, and network packet handling performance improvements. Some key features have been added to the system installer too, including checking for security updates on the system's first boot: "Installer improvements: The installer now uses the Allotment Routing Table (ART). A unique kernel is now created by the installer to boot from after install/upgrade. On release installs of architectures supported by syspatch, "syspatch -c" is now added to rc.firsttime. Backwards compatibility code to support the 'rtsol' keyword in hostname.if(5) has been removed. The install.site and upgrade.site scripts are now executed at the end of the install/upgrade process. More detailed information is shown to identify disks. The IPv6 default router selection has been fixed. On the amd64 platform, AES-NI is used if present."
Further information on OpenBSD 6.2 can be found in the project's release notes. Download (pkglist): amd64/install62.iso (330MB, SHA256, signature), i386/install62.iso (320MB, SHA256, signature)

I'd have gone with "Modular, Extensible, Lightweight, Correct, Secure", or MELCS. Far more catchy.
Unrelated question of my own: does OpenJDK run on OpenBSD these days? Seems a reasonable litmus test for serious Unices.

Language fanboyism. From an AC. Cute.

Aside from Reddit, I use it every single day in OpenBSD 6.1.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
