  1. OpenBSD ... making the internet safe for Linux by perpenso · · Score: 5, Insightful

    two holes in an install with zero packages that can do nothing but ssh yay?

    Actually a common use for OpenBSD is a firewall and/or router. Built-in packages accomplish these and other infrastructure roles. Thus making the internet a safer place to tread for Linux boxes with whatever is the fad-of-the-moment development stack. ;-)
