Hackers Meet Soldiers (O'Reilly)

This O'Reilly article looks at OpenBSD. "OpenBSD has focused on security, reliability, and quality since its launch over 7 years ago. The team follows such standards as POSIX, ANSI, and most of X/Open. Since 1996, formal audits [see sidebar on security and audits] of the base system's source code have further buttressed its reputation for security. Thousands of companies, including Adobe and Network Security Technologies, Inc., use OpenBSD, although many of them keep their choice private for security reasons."
