Of all the operating systems available, OpenBSD and Solaris 10 seem to be
the most secure, but which is more secure out of the two?
OpenBSD has a better past record of security than Solaris due to it's
'secure by default' approach, but solaris 10 has some new pretty cool
security features, which can reduce the threat of buffer overflows and
other vulnerabilities.

Check out these URL's for more info into Solaris 10 security:

What do you think. Solaris 10 or OpenBSD?
