OpenBSD: A Crash Course, Brian Callahan

Abstract

With issues of privacy and security occupying the forefront of recent
international news, a reexamination of the technologies used in one's
personal and professional infrastructure is essential.

This talk will highlight why OpenBSD should be at the forefront of these
reexaminations. Whether you are a long time *BSD user or are completely
new to *BSD, you will discover why OpenBSD excels in these areas and why
its security reputation is well deserved.
