When I'm asked why OpenBSD is good and that I want to reply honestly, I have no argument.
From a technical point of view, I can't tell any strong benefits using OpenBSD, NetBSD or FreeBSD over Linux, although this doesn't mean they are bad.
It would be easy for me to be "cargo-culting" facts, being a "fanboy" or enumerating features that are exclusive to one (and they are rare, except if you are looking for the very very same feature!).
The truth is that what one OS will do better than an other, it will also do worse in another area.
It's important that we keep the BSD systems as relevant Linux alternatives: for software diversity, innovation and freedom of choice.
