+ Review: Secure Architectures with OpenBSD</a>,
+ Unix Review, July, 2004
+ </strong></font><br>
+ UNIX luminary Peter Salus reviews the book
+ <i>Secure Architectures with OpenBSD</i> by
+ Brandon Palmer & Jose Nazario.
+ "I view OpenBSD as the most secure operating system available. It
+ certainly has far fewer holes than Windows, and fewer than any
+ flavor of Linux I've looked at...
+ Most of the chapters (e.g., XWindow, DNS, etc.) are very fine; the
+ emphasis on security is thorough and well-instantiated. The frequent
+ code examples are appropriate and enlightening. On an information
+ level, Palmer and Nazario are very good."
+ His only criticisms have to do with production issues: incomplete copy editing
+ by the publisher leading to un-explained acronyms, poor cross-referencing
+ and even spelling/wording errors.
+ Overall he seems to like the book (and the operating system, of course).
