FreeBSD has always had a good reputation for security.

I noticed that an offshoot, OpenBSD was not on the list.

Do you think that is because FreeBSD is so prevalent and OpenBSD is not?

TBH, I'm not overly familiar with the BSD family.

However, I've heard that OpenBSD has typically been more secure than FreeBSD.

OpenBSD is much more secure “out of the box.”

OpenBSD has a stellar security record, while the other two BSDs don’t.
