OpenBSD is probably the most secure OS out there. However, OpenBSD contains firmware that does not come with source code. Furthermore, on first boot, many more non-free firmware files are downloaded.

Because of this, I decided to make an OpenBSD distro with these non-free bits removed. I call it LibertyBSD.

However, LibertyBSD will not be released until 3 BTC have been raised. You can help us get to this total by either making a donation or purchasing a pre-release CD.
