Hey now, FreeBSD is secure too :-) It's true that OpenBSD have done
more auditing work than FreeBSD has, but it's not like we're standing
still here -- the FreeBSD auditing project is producing results.
OpenBSD is a fine operating system, but in fact they have had a number
of serious exploits in the past year which FreeBSD fixed a number of
years ago or was never vulnerable to.
