FreeBSD Project Launches FreeBSD 6.0
you said: "i would offer that openbsd is generally considered the most secure open source OS". if it's 'the most secure', then by definition the others are not the most secure, or in plain english, they're less secure. i asked what that 'less secure' is exactly and i have yet to receive an informed post from you. and in case you don't understand the word 'secure', i'll offer a simple definition: security is about information flow control, i.e., i expect you to give specific examples where OpenBSD provides information flow controls where the others don't (and 'provides' implies that such controls are bugfree, non-exploitable, else said controls are just an exercise in vain), and i also expect you to prove that all controls the 'less secure' systems have are also present in in OpenBSD (so that you can in the end prove that OpenBSD security is indeed a true superset of all the others). your turn sir ;-).
