Outside of the BSDs, Void Linux is a linux distro that uses LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL and they also have a stable musl flavor (no glibc).

Gentoo ~x86/~amd64 also supports LibreSSL with the "libressl" USE flag. Makes for a great hardened (Grsecurity/PaX) install for servers/chromebooks.

Is there also a Gentoo profile for a system-wide clang/llvm? Add libressl and musl (instead of glibc), and it would be quite a different and advantageous linux distro.

not sure about clang/llvm, but you can definitely build with musl or uClibc rather than glibc.

Gentoo is largely what you make it, while Void is about sane defaults.

OS X also ships LibreSSL (ssh -v).

I know this is just nitpicking but you may want to use capital V instead: `ssh -V`.

And indeed the SSH command originates from OpenBSD and uses LibreSSL 2.1.8.

Thanks :) I was afk and I hoped someone would correct me.
