One of the ThreeBSD'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 forked from NetBSD in 1995 by TheoDeRaadt, one of the "core" NetBSD developers when he fell out with them (or rather they fell out with him). The rather bitter saga is described (from Theo's side) at http://zeus.theos.com/deraadt/coremail.
