No, "they" say the most secure OS is one which is kept up to date with all the patches and properly configured.


By that argument a properly configured and patched Windows (any version) system is just as stable as a properly configured and patched Unix system.

The whole idea behind OpenBSD is that security is built right into the system and the code is audited for bugs, so there are still exploits that will work even with a fully patched and hardened system on (otherOS) but not on OpenBSD because of this.

Or are you saying that OpenBSD cannot be broken into regardless of patch level ( not credible ) or are you saying that Linux does not undergo security reviews ( wrong ) or are you saying that no other OS has security built in ( wrong ) or are you saying that OS with ESMs are not as secure ( wrong )?


Please be so kind as not to put words into my mouth, I did not say any of that.

Nah, I think that OpenBSD, fearful of Linux popularity has decided to build up a wee bit of mythology around itself to help it survive.


They do not need any myths, 1 root exploit in 7 years speaks for itself.

It's really quite obvious that a group that concentrates all it's efforts on security is going to be better at it than a group that does not.
