title: 'OpenBSD Article Published by Linux Magazine'
---
I am glad to introduce *"Free Cousin"*, a *Linux Magazine* article 
published in issue *#253*. It explains some of the characteristics that 
make *OpenBSD* an unique Operating System.

*OpenBSD* is a free, open source operating with deep roots in the Unix 
tradition. It has a reputation for code correctness and secure design. 
Since it is POSIX friendly system, *OpenBSD* will be easy to pick up by 
dedicated *Linux* users.

The userspace tools that can be ran on *OpenBSD* are either the same 
ones that can be ran on a regular *Linux* distribution, or very 
similar. *OpenBSD*, however, ships with some goodies developed at home, 
such as its own web server. Its kernel also has some outstanding 
features which make it easy for programmers to place process within 
sandboxes.
