Security is mostly a matter of how you install and manage the box, rather
than a system ws another, although some tools can help you (audit-packages
from the NetBSD pkg for example :)
Saying that OpenBSD is more secure is pure marketing. Saying that a system
has a feature that will help you in your environnement (e.g. kernel security
level, file system flags, etc ...) are technical facts.
