Ahmmm. Openbsd gets bad score in patching ?
Well that maybe becuase the os is so good that doesnt need 30 patches a day
like the linux distros.
I have heard the linux 'fans' saying amazing crap about their os'es...
Thank god in this world there are people that know that openbsd rules.
We must all also help the openbsd community with donations for the amazing
work that all the guys in the obsd team do.
I did a donation 3-4 months ago to the obsd and if I had more i'd send out
more.
Let the linux guys talk. All the can do is talk ... Their os's suck....
bsd for life ;)

Well, OpenBSD gets mentioned, that's the most important.

Good job Edmund! This is one of the worst articles on security I
have ever read. Talk about missing the point.
Yep, let's do talk about it since I see you as a blind horse that
misses the point because you cannot read. The title contains the two
words "patch problems" and that isn't a very strong point of OpenBSD.
(Obviously because there are not as many developers as other
distributions have.)
The article is not about the strong points of OpenBSD, pro-active and
integrated security, it's about patching and updates, a weak point of
OpenBSD.
And it's not at all about stupidities like the one you mentioned of
Ubuntu, you provide chaos without a reason.

Poor score in security? Hmmm... In which config? Default install? Or 3rd
party apps? If the apps are to blame, then, to some extent, isn't that a
ding to the developer, and not the OS itself? Almost like saying OpenBSD
sucks because there was an exploit in an Excel document opened with
OpenOffice.
As for Linux sucking, well, I use OpenBSD on anything public, but for
client deployments (or non-technical people that want to try
linux/unix/bsd) I use ubuntu. Both have their strengths, both have their
weeknesses...
