These are the operative words. With OpenBSD, you get this out of the box and everything just works. With other operating systems, you have to do a lot of the legwork that's already been done for you with OpenBSD and make sure you didn't break things with your configuration.

With OpenBSD, out of the box you get a blank slate that really can't do anything, that you have to configure to do what you want, and currently can't be configured to be as secure as linux can be.
