They are damn fast in response time of broken 'packages'. Don't get me wrong, I really like OpenBSD and I use it frequently, but if I would want an up2date system (including security patches) I choose (Xu|Ku|U)buntu. The article is not about the OS, it's about the applications you run. And it's a fact that OpenBSD is not the fastest delivering updates for broken packages. But who care, you still have a secure OS. ;-) so long, Marcus.
