SELinux vs. OpenBSD's Default Security

,----[ Quote ]
| Darrin Chandler suggested, "security should not be grafted on, it should be 
| integrated into the main development process. I'm sure the patch maintainers 
| are doing their best, but this doesn't change the fundamental flaw in the 
| process. It's not a flaw of their making, it's inherent in the situation. But 
| it's still a flaw."

OpenBSD 4.0 review

,----[ Quote ]
| I've tried hard to find a significant weak point in this operating
| system, but there just isn't one. Put simply, OpenBSD makes Unix fun
| and interesting. It's the only Unix-like operating system that you
| can build, customize, and update without running into strange
| problems, bugs, and growing pains. Upgrades are done with
| confidence, not trepidation, and once configured, there isn't a
| whole lot of worrying to do.
