1999's Technically Excellent Canadians</a></strong></font>,
COMPUTERMAGS.COM, Aug 10, 1999</a><p>

"CCW is very pleased to name our five Technically Excellent Canadians,
who are significantly impacting on technology both at home and
abroad. Thanks to our readers for your involvement and nominations."<p>

From the publishers of a number of Canadian computer magazines, comes
an award to Theo de Raadt for his part in OpenBSD.<p>

Newspaper article about OpenBSD.

The Net's stealth operating system.</a></strong></font>, July 22, 1999<p>

"The OpenBSD group, which did a line-by-line security audit of BSD
code, and now has what is widely regarded as the most secure OS
available."

<a href="http://www.computerbits.com/archive/19990300/bsd.htm">
Why to BSD in a Linux world.</a></strong></font>, March, 1999<p>

Description of the OpenBSD development process, and arguments as to why
Linux probably cannot achieve the same level of security audit.

NFR Performance Testing</a> report, written by
<a href="http://www.anzen.com">Anzen</a>.  February, 1999.</strong></font><p>

This report compares the network monitoring performance of the
<a href="http://www.nfr.net">NFR (Network Flight Recorder)</a> package at
handling flat-out 100Mbit ethernet monitoring, running on OpenBSD, BSDI,
Linux, and Solaris.  OpenBSD comes out as a clear winner just for raw
performance; even before you consider the superior security of OpenBSD
which you probably would want for a network-monitoring station.

"Finally, we'd be remiss in ignoring OpenBSD in any discussion of top
open-source security products. It registered high in our e-mail
survey, and we promise to take a more active look at it in future
columns."

OpenBSD and IPSec, leading the pack</a>, November, 1998.
</strong></font><p>

A two-part article by Ejovi Nuwere focusing on OpenBSD's IPSec Development.
Part one is an introduction to OpenBSD's Photurisd and its current
Implementation, including a brief interview with
Photurisd creator Neils Provos.

<a href="http://www.wired.com/news/news/business/story/12035.html">

Mention of OpenBSD with regards to our involvement in the
Freenix track held at Usenix in New Orleans.

<a href="http://www.wired.com/news/news/culture/story/5943.html">
Wired Magazine, Aug 11, 1997, Beyond HOPE coverage.</a></strong></font><p>

Completely bogus (but quite amusing) description of what
OpenBSD is.

<A href="http://sw.expert.com/R/WS4.JUN.98.pdf">
Server/Workstation Expert (formerly
SunExpert Magazine), June 1998, page 81.</a></strong></font><p>

A glowing four-page description of OpenBSD emphasizing its use
as a server and an OS that ships with security in the box
(the SunExpert version is in PDF but includes their own
graphic - a cross between Superman&#153; and the BSD Daemon, which
the WebServer version in HTML does not).

Points at our <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/security.html">security page</a>
calling it "OpenBSD's mantra".
<p>

<li><font color=#009000><strong><a href="http://www.wired.com">
Wired Magazine</a>, June 1998, page 96. Paper edition only.</strong></font><p>
A half-page description of what OpenBSD is, with a cheezy picture
of project founder Theo de Raadt (watch those wired people do
photoshop jobs!).

An article on the swedish <a href="events.html#ipsec98">IPSec interop</a> event

mini-interview with OpenBSD developer Niklas Hallqvist.

Datateknik</a> no 14, 1998.</strong></font><p>

Two published letters talking about OpenBSD's role in MacOS X.  The 1st
one has some misconceptions which are corrected by the 2nd which
explains the licensing issues and points to our
<a href="policy.html">copyright policy</a> page.
