Is this just the "it's not linux" person inside you that you're
channelling?  I don't see anything that more difficult managing my
OBSD box than I did with Linux.  True, it's different, but different
in a useful way. :)

And I wouldn't dare run Linux rather than OBSD on www.stonehenge.com -
I want to be able to sleep at night, and not worry about script
kiddies.  I'm glad that openbsd is verified secure *and* is not the
"script kiddies Unix distro of choice".  That'll change as OBSD gets
more popular for the secure sites like mine, but for now, it's a nice
advantage to be "different".
