OpenBSD: Hackers Meet Soldiers

BSDForums writes "OpenBSD has a well-deserved reputation for fanatical security. Why is the U.S. military funding it? What do you get out of it? Cameron Laird and George Peter Staplin investigate and talk to Theo de Raadt, the creator, overseer, and taskmaster of the OpenBSD project!"

    I thought OpenBSD was designed with the idea of providing the most Open ported version of BSD rather than for fanatical security. But now knowing that, I have yet another reason to switch.

    BSD is Bad Ass!

    It took me about 3 weeks of playing with Gentoo to
    realize that it completely obviates debian. Gentoo

    hardware I have gets supported in FreeBSD better.
