Well it is not dated it just doesn't support 2.6 kernel. In the mean time
Linux has also switched to Alsa which makes all of audio applications useless when run in emulator mode (see my posts about Skype).
On the positive side Opera 9.64 (which fixed extremely serious security
whole of 9.63) works very well. It is "compiled" using 2.95 GCC which makes it much more stable (I meant Fedora base is compiled by GCC of course). Flush 7 works and there is even an unofficial ndiswrapper port for OpenBSD so you could use the latest Firefox with Java and Flush plugins
if you need to do so.

See the link on the bottom of the first message to get the Make file and patches.
If you need Linux Mathematic-a on OpenBSD you can check the mailing lists to see how to install it. There is a very important
patch that needs to be applied to kernel since Mathematic-a uses Linux system call which is not Posix complaint.
Mark E. also asked people recently to donate Maple license (they are about $1800) to OpenBSD project as developers want to make sure Maple and MatLab (license is only $100) also can install without problems via Linux emulator.
