"JA: What advantages does OpenBSD offer over Linux?
Theo de Raadt: I don't use Linux, so I do not really know how to answer this.
But when I am pressed to answer, I normally point out that our development process is much tighter; this is perhaps a reflection of our goals to have simpler and more proven code, and also perhaps because of our very structured 6 month development cycle. I feel that OpenBSD development is evolutionary instead of revolutionary, and suspect that since our development methodology is so radically different at a fundamental level, that it will result in many obvious differences for the user community -- a long list full of contentious things which I prefer not to write up."
