Someone has written an article under "Information Security News",

In this article, he compares response times to vulnerabilities and

gives various Linux distros and OpenBSD a "score". OpenBSD came 2nd
last, but get this, Ubuntu, the Linux which had the root password
logged
to disk in the plain from the installer, complete with a community
which
did not notice this until almost the next release was out... came
first!
Good job Edmund! This is one of the worst articles on security I
have
ever read. Talk about missing the point.

I filled in some comments in the "Contact Us" page, under the
category "Contact the editors". I'm going to call them and see
what it takes to become a contributor (apparently not much) and
submit a review of OpenBSD's security stance.
If you do send something in, be polite. We're not a bunch of
raving loonies.
