  miros bsd (originally called mirbsd) is a free and open source operating system which started as a fork of openbsd 3.1 in august 2002.birthing point for miros it is intended to maintain the security of openbsdâfrom which it frequently synchronises code updatesâwith better support for european localisation. since then it has also incorporated code from other free bsd descendants, including netbsd, microbsd and freebsd. code from miros bsd has also been incorporated into ekkobsd, and when ekkobsd ceased to exist, artwork, code and developers ended up here for a while. one of the project's goals is to be able to port the miros userland to run on the linux kernel, hence the deprecation of mirbsd in favor of miros. == history == miros bsd originated as openbsd-current-mirabilos, an openbsd patchkit, but soon grew on its own after some differences in opinionre: initial patch of netbsd /usr/games/wtf + /usr/share/misc/acronyms between the openbsd project leader theo de raadt and thorsten glaser. despite the forking, miros bsd is synchronised with the ongoing development of openbsd, thus inheriting most of its good security history, as well as netbsd and other bsd flavours.miros bsd: the peaceful operating system, bsd magazine, issue 1/2009 (3), p. 16 one goal is to provide a faster integration cycle for new features and software than openbsd. according to the developers, "controversial decisions are often made differently from openbsd; for instance, there won't be any support for smp in miros". there will also be a more tolerant software inclusion policy, and "the end result is, hopefully, a more refined bsd experience".[http:/
