OpenBSD Description
OpenBSD is entirely developed by volunteers. OpenBSD Foundation contributes to funding the project's development environment, and developer events. OpenBSD will continue to be a free and vibrant operating system thanks to your contributions. OpenBSD has embedded cryptography in many places within the operating system. We demand that cryptographic software used by us be freely available and licensed. We don't use cryptography that is protected by nasty patents. We also require that the software be from countries with export licenses. This is because we don't want to break any country's laws. Keep it as political-free as possible. Solutions should be based on technical merit.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD has many advanced networking, security, and compatibility features that are not available in commercial operating systems. FreeBSD is an ideal Internet and Intranet server. It can provide reliable network services even under heavy loads. It also uses memory efficiently to maintain high response times for thousands concurrent user processes. FreeBSD provides advanced network operating system features for embedded platforms and appliances, including Intel-based appliances and ARM, PowerPC and MIPS hardware platforms. Vendors around the globe rely on FreeBSD for their embedded products, which includes mail and web appliances, routers, time servers and wireless access points. They can also decide how many local changes they want back through the Berkeley open-source license.

Chromium OS
Chromium OS is an open source project that aims at creating an operating system that offers a faster, simpler, and more secure computing experience to people who spend most their time online. You can read the design docs and the source code here. Chromium is a tabbed window manager, shell for the web, that we view as a browser application. We don't put things in our UI the same way that Apple and Microsoft do not put things in their standard window frames. The tab is our equivalent to a desktop application's title bars; the frame containing tabs is a convenient way to manage groups of applications. There may be other tab types in the future that don't host the browser toolbar.

Qubes OS
Qubes OS is an open-source, free, security-oriented operating platform for single-user desktop computing. Qubes OS uses Xen-based virtualization for the creation and management a set of isolated compartments known as qubes. These qubes are virtual machines (VMs) that are used to implement a set of isolated applications for professional or personal projects. They also serve to manage the firewall and network stack. Qubes provides your computer with the security of Xen hypervisor, which is used by many major hosting companies to isolate websites from each other. You can't decide which Linux distribution to use? You still need one Windows program for work? Qubes doesn't limit you to one OS. Qubes integrates Whonix, making anonymous browsing over the Tor network safe and simple.
