13: and security-first development model. They use the system to build firewalls,
14: intrusion detection systems, or general purpose servers. University
15: researchers and IT department developers often have similar
16: security and stability requirements and choose OpenBSD.<p>

78: in-house IEEE POSIX realtime extensions using OpenBSD as a root source
79: tree. Nearly all of the IEEE POSIX extensions have been
80: added. Currently all OpenBSD features are supported, but only on the
81: m68k, MIPS and PowerPC cpu types. Pentium and Alpha cpu versions are
82: to be released soon. RTMX Inc. is also a licensed OSF Motif house, and
83: has ported Motif 1.2.3 to most of the supported platforms.<p>

88: Research Triangle. There is a mix of AMD K-6, MicroSPARC-II and
89: PowerPC systems in use, with more customer sub-net servers coming
90: on-line. RTMX.NET mirrors the OpenBSD
91: <a href="http://openbsd.groupbsd.org">WWW</a>

144: delighted with OpenBSD's performance, reliability, and pro-active
145: attitude towards security," says a company spokesperson. "We intend
146: to use OpenBSD in many future projects. We believe strongly that
147: open-source solutions like OpenBSD are best able to provide the high
148: levels of security our clients require -- closed-source software
149: almost never receives the level of code review that OpenBSD is

157: This ISP uses OpenBSD to run their free shell server, as well as other
158: systems. The shell server, a single AMD K6/233, handles well over
159: 10,000 users. "We tried OpenBSD after having constant security
160: problems with other operating systems", says Hobbiton's Leif
161: Pedersen. "Since then, security in the operating system has not been a
162: problem and, as an added bonus, the systems have been more stable."
