My choice of operating system

J'aime bien la courte présentation d'OpenBSD que l'on trouve dans cet article:

«When security matters, OpenBSD is ALWAYS my first choice. This is because, from my experience, nothing beats OpenBSD with regard to security.

The people and community who are involved in the project, the amazing passion of Theo de Raadt (the founder and leader of the project), the amount of careful planning and engineering that goes into OpenBSD, the simplicity of the design, all of it is fantastic.

The OpenBSD people are meticulous when it comes to their operating system and they have very clearly proved and demonstrated that their approach pays off. OpenBSD deserves so much more praise, support and contribution than what they are getting.

In my company we currently do all web development on OpenBSD servers running the current branch and I prefer to deploy anything Internet related on OpenBSD, both because of the simplicity OpenBSD provides and because of the increased level of protection and control, but also because you get almost all you need in the base system (no need to install any third party packages).

Whenever I build routers and firewalls, I use OpenBSD.

OpenBSD is useful for other things too. If your hardware is supported (there are no working drivers for NVIDIA), you can run it as a very good and secure desktop or laptop system as well.

OpenBSD is designed by people who love to work on the stuff they do. It’s easy to understand how OpenBSD works and when something isn’t working, it’s easy to debug because OpenBSD has been designed to be simple. The default configuration in OpenBSD is always sane, and it’s always secure by default, and as a system administrator you never have to worry about it.

I love OpenBSD.»
