What is ekkoBSD:
---------------------------------------------
ekkoBSD is a new Operating System, based on OpenBSD 3.3-CURRENT.
ekkoBSD contains many new improvements and different set of goals
than those of the core developers of OpenBSD. The name ekkoBSD
implies absolutely nothing, and was chosen because it was the
first thing that came to mind. We believe that the substance of an
Operating System comes not from a snappy name but from what it
delivers to the user.

The source for ekkoBSD is derived from OpenBSD 3.3-CURRENT, patched,
and extended. In addition, a new installer was added, and new
configuration utilities and miscellaneous software was added to the
system. Since ekkoBSD is based on OpenBSD 3.3-CURRENT, there is
already a wealth of third party applications available. A selection
of these applications, including XFree86, will be part of the basic
add-on suite.

Differences Between OpenBSD and ekkoBSD:
---------------------------------------------

As mentioned, ekkoBSD is forked from OpenBSD 3.3-CURRENT. The
differences are both tangible and intangible. This OS is intended
to be a platform to build secure single servers and workstations,
with more user-friendly tools to help speed up installation and
administration. The intent is not to allow "the un-read masses"
to build these systems, but to allow the people who take the time
to use ekkoBSD an easier time doing it. It is also our intention
to keep politics to a minimum in the development of ekkoBSD.
