1.104 david 18: The term "users" has several connotations. <em>End users</em> often
1.47 ian 19: want to meet other users of the system, to share ideas, problems and solutions,
20: and discuss the system over a meal or a beer. One of the best ways to do this
21: is with one of our
22: <a href="groups.html">User Groups worldwide</a>.
23: <p>
24: Another connotation of the term is "who is using the system, and for what?",
1.56 louis 25: and that is the subject of the rest of this page. These <a
1.65 jufi 26: href="#com">companies</a> and organizations trust OpenBSD's rigorous code audit
1.38 louis 27: and security-first development model. They use the system to build firewalls,
1.56 louis 28: intrusion detection systems, or general purpose servers.
29: <a href="#edu">University researchers</a> and IT department developers often
30: have similar security and stability requirements and choose OpenBSD.
31: Many <a href="#isp">Internet Service Providers</a> find OpenBSD's
