“The OpenBSD project produces a FREE, multi-platform
4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system. Our efforts emphasize
portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security and
integrated cryptography. OpenBSD supports binary emulation of most
programs from SVR4 (Solaris), FreeBSD, Linux, BSD/OS, SunOS and
HP-UX.”

“The current release is OpenBSD 2.6 which started shipping
December 1, 1999. OpenBSD is freely available from our FTP
sites, and also available in an inexpensive 2-CD set….

“OpenBSD is developed by volunteers. The project funds
development and releases by selling CDs and T-shirts, as well as
receiving donations. Organizations and individuals donate and thus
ensure that OpenBSD will continue to exist, and will remain free
for everyone to use and reuse as they see fit.”
