 OpenBSD's OpenSSH portable version
 
+Normal OpenSSH development produces a very small, secure, and easy to maintain
+version for the OpenBSD project. The OpenSSH Portability Team takes that pure
+version and adds portability code so that OpenSSH can run on many other
+operating systems (Unfortunately, in particular since OpenSSH does
+authentication, it runs into a *lot* of differences between Unix operating
+systems). 
+
+The portable OpenSSH follows development of the official version, but releases
+are not synchronized. Portable releases are marked with a 'p' (e.g. 3.1p1).
+The official OpenBSD source will never use the 'p' suffix, but will instead
+increment the version number when they hit 'stable spots' in their development.
