In The article, The author mentions that he finds "unacceptable", or embarassing, a few things about openbsd, mainly concerning it's general speed and scalability.
ALthought not beeing an expert in bsd nor in linux, maybe i'm rong, but isn't OpenBSD made to be secure, and not the fastest operatin system ( additionally, comparing oragnges to apples, by testing release/current/stable, wasn't the best way of comparing those OSes) ????
By implementing a few feature in the OpenBSD stack and Kernell, I guess that the devellopers are delibetatelly sacrifying performance in order to get an Os less vulnerable to DOS and other vulnerabilities
It owuld be interesting to compare the same OSes in a security test to find out which OS is more secure, if speed and scalability isn't the only issue in a OS...
Withthe lastest business model microsoft just used, to shared the windows source code with trusted, I think we have to wonder if they would have tried to license the code if they wouldn'r have plan to share its source code...
just like, oups, I borrowed some ofyour code..
