OpenBSD

Probably one of the most secure OS out on the market.
Beats pretty much everybody in terms of security even from within the GNU/Linux community. In my opinion anyways. Even Microsoft uses this UNIX system. It uses this UNIX OS for it's Unix Services.

OpenBSD 5.5, the latest version of the free, multi-platform UNIX-like operating system with focus on proactive security and integrated cryptography, has been released:

Release notes of what's new for this distro is here:

OpenBSD 5.5

This is quite good I find

Releases and packages are now cryptographically signed with the signify(1) utility.

The installer will verify all sets before installing.

I find that this OS is quite proactive in a way because it's presenting 64-bit only as that is the current trend. 32-bit is getting kind of old and more and more systems are switching to 64-bit binaries, libraries, and kernels.

OpenBSD is as secure as you can get with operating systems. Too bad it suffers on features, manpower, funding side.

btw. you misunderstood 64 bit part. OpenBSD is known to support insane amount of architectures, some of which are waaaay behind their time, and be sure that i386 isn't going anywhere. In the words of lead developers: supporting so much different architectures helps to weed out obscure bugs that would otherwise be missed.

I'm sorry shadowww. I don't think I quite understand. Are you talking about this list here: OpenBSD Platforms

yes. i386 is what you refer to as 32-bit and amd64 as 64-bit

taken the liberty of changing the title prefix to "Other" because BSD is not linux. Berkeley Software Distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

anyway i can highly recommend openbsd to all who are unix savvy and not interested in fancy but serious stuff.
