Theo de Raadt has announced the release of OpenBSD 5.1. The OpenBSD 5.1 release page has a detailed list of all changes and improvements. As always, I would love for someone to write proper items about OpenBSD releases - it's outside my interests and cursory glances don't do it justice.

True but I can't even remember the last time I used that. If there's not a native port the program probably wouldn't run very well in Linux emulation anyway.
Yes, I have heard that localization is somewhat incomplete in the base system. For GUI apps not in base it is not an OpenBSD problem.
Don't bother me much though, English is the language of computers. Just deal with it or contribute what is necessary to improve localization.
That's not really an OpenBSD problem but a problem with the app. Quite a few "portable" programs a written with the mentality that if it works on Linux that's good enough.
Maybe but I haven't noticed any real difference between, for example, OpenBSD and Linux. If anything OpenBSD feels faster.
I only use OpenBSD in infrastructure roles though so maybe this is a problem more noticed on the desktop.
On an unrelated note, I think this should be front page news on *OS*news.
