! OpenBSD looks a lot like NetBSD (from which it is derived, following ! the 4.4BSD roots), but is now being developed seperately. Good changes ! from other free operating systems will be merged in (of course, depending ! on various factors like developer time for example.) OpenBSD tracks ! NetBSD changes very closely; say anywhere between 2 to 10 days ! behind the state of NetBSD-current all the time. You used to be able to ! say that OpenBSD is NetBSD PLUS MORE STUFF, but nowadays OpenBSD ! very much is it's own thing. Too much stuff was added and fixed to be ! able to compare it against NetBSD...
! Compared to NetBSD, various additions have been made. This is a ! partial list of the major machine independent changes (ie. these are the ! changes people ask about most often). Check the page of the specific port ! you are interested in for further port-specific details. Note that many ports ! have had architecture-specific enhancements.
! The OpenBSD project was spawned from NetBSD (ie. a member of the ! 4.4BSD family) and is developed seperately. As well as developments ! by our development group, good changes from the other free operating ! systems are evaluated and merged into OpenBSD (of course, depending on ! various factors like developer time for example.) OpenBSD tracks bug ! reports and source tree changes from the NetBSD and FreeBSD projects ! fairly closely. Even pieces of code from the Linux projects have been ! used.
! In the early days of OpenBSD, it was possible to be able to say ! "OpenBSD is NetBSD PLUS MORE STUFF" Now, after substantial ! work OpenBSD is very much is it's own thing. Too much stuff has ! added and fixed. OpenBSD is OpenBSD.
