Upgrading to OpenBSD 6.7: that was easy!
This morning I saw the new OpenBSD artwork and t-shirts that I liked instantly. But before ordering shirts, I wanted to do an upgrade. It could not have been easier. I must say that I always really liked the inplace upgrade option that Debian has been delivering for 20+ years now. But OpenBSD sysupgrade is so quick and easy, you can just perform it without actually having finished your first coffee:

That was it, only took a couple of minutes to install and than a couple of minutes to reboot. Enough time to order those nice t-shirts.
Please tell me that somebody is doing OpenBSD stickers with the new designs? The highlight of OpenBSD used to be the physical CD/DVD case with STICKERS
