NetBSD 5.0 release! & OpenBSD 4.5 release!

Wow..

it was so amazing to see that both NetBSD and OpenBSD is releasing their major release almost at the same time..



NetBSD 5.0


http://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal-5/NetBSD-5.0.html

The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce that NetBSD 5.0, the thirteenth major release of the NetBSD operating system, is now available. NetBSD 5.0 features greatly improved performance and scalability on modern multiprocessor (SMP) and multi-core systems. Multi-threaded applications can now efficiently make use of more than one CPU or core, and system performance is much better under I/O and network load, benefiting, for example, server, scientific, and software development workloads.
This improved performance is the result of a rewritten threading subsystem based on a 1:1 threading model, new kernel synchronization primitives, kernel preemption, a rewritten scheduler implementation, real-time scheduling extensions, processor sets, and dynamic CPU sets for thread affinity. Almost all core kernel subsystems, like virtual memory, memory allocators, file system frameworks for major file systems, and others were audited and overhauled to make use of highly concurrent algorithms.
details can read on the links given above..
Well.. guess what.. I'm downloading it now!
