software developers. They have developed httpd, opensmtpd, and quite a few bits
of software. They support 14 different platforms including riscv64, amd64,
arm64, powerpc, and some other ones. That's really quite impressive! They have
designed new security features including pledge and unveil. If you want a really
powerful safe-by-default OS, then OpenBSD is really worth your time.")))
