Seems to be a completely dead project. It was forked from FreeBSD 3-ish years ago and the repository has seen no activity in the last 10 months.

Qubes looks to be a more advanced project, and has a fair number of testimonials vouching for it (disclaimer: I've literally never used it).

You are right. I only checked out the gh repo after posting this.

This branch is 2 commits ahead, 17518 commits behind freebsd:master.

That logo looks familiar... https://security.stackexchange.com

Whelp. I guess they're taking that to an extreme.

What advantages does this have over security-focused Linux distributions, eg. Kali, Tails, etc?

>security-focused Linux distributions

>Kali

I don't even know where to begin with this one...

Kali definitely is not "security focused", it JUST a pile of scripts added on top of flavour of the month Debian. At least in Backtrack days it tried to be all secure and invisible and sneaky and shit, but then noobs complained since they couldn't figure how to start X or how to enable network interfaces.

Now it's just bunch of script kiddies running shit they know nothing about and then crying when some version update breaks random dependency they weren't even aware of.

I'm surprised you got downvoted. Kali actually isn't a security focused distribution. It is meant to be an offensive tool that you usually use for pentesting and use in a VM or a live USB.

DONOT use Kali thinking it is a secure (defense) distro. Use Quebes or Tails or heck even Debian with some secure changes, but not Kali.

What exactly your target audience? Besides what we already have (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, *BSD)
