The OpenBSD project produces a FREE, multi-platform 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system. Our efforts emphasize portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security and integrated cryptography. OpenBSD supports binary emulation of most programs from SVR4 (Solaris), FreeBSD, Linux, BSD/OS, SunOS and HP-UX.

OpenBSD is freely available from our FTP sites, and also available in an inexpensive 3-CD set. The current release is OpenBSD 3.2 which started shipping Nov 1, 2002.
OpenBSD 3.3 will arrive on May 1, and can be pre-ordered as well.

The CDs (and Shirts) can be ordered...

OpenBSD contains OpenSSH, which supports SSH1 and SSH2!

OpenBSD is developed by volunteers. The project funds development and releases by selling CDs and T-shirts, as well as receiving donations. Organizations and individuals donate and thus ensure that OpenBSD will continue to exist, and will remain free for everyone to use and reuse as they see fit.

DARPA has suddenly and unexpectedly cancelled funding for OpenBSD R&D through the University of Pennsylvania's POSSE program. The University of Pennsylvania has also cancelled the hotel for the upcoming hackathon. Nevertheless the hackathon will happen as scheduled, and we will continue to operate based on donations from the user community and other sources who continue to support the project. We quote from the DARPA spokesperson:

"As a result of the DARPA review of the project, and due to world events and the evolving threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states, the Government on April 21 advised the University to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of the project." (ie. the OpenBSD c2k3 hackathon)
