s. OpenBSD
was started
by having a group
of people hand audit all
the code
, and check it for security. Everyone, (
the unix world in particular) owe OpenBSD a lot for spending a lot
of time actively looking for security issues and removing them, as well as promoting use of more secure programs such as
[OpenSSH
].
+[OpenBSD | http://www.openbsd.org/] is one
of three
[*
BSD]s. It
was forked from [NetBSD] in 1995
by TheoDeRaadt, one
of the core [NetBSD] developers
, when he
and the rest
of the team had a falling out. You can read
[the rather bitter saga, described from Theo's side | http://zeus.theos.com/deraadt/coremail
