Changes Relative to other *BSD's.

-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... +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.

-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).
