OpenBSD's 10th Birthday

Ten years ago today, Theo de Raadt got sick of butting heads with NetBSD core and forked the tree, adding 7 months of his diffs to it. Thus officially began the OpenBSD Project. Undeadly.org has the article: OpenBSD's 10th Birthday

And baby, look at it now: OpenBSD is the best operating system I've ever used, and it's just getting better and better every day. In just the last four years, it's dumped IP Filter in favor of PF, incorporated W^X, implemented a VRRP-killer called CARP, and added OpenNTPD. New additions for the 3.8 release include a wifi host management daemon and a new, unpredictable malloc().

And I haven't even mentioned OpenSSH yet.

Tonight, I drink to Theo, I drink to free cryptography, and I drink to developers everywhere who are making the world a safer place for all our programs.
