Man, we're wandering way OT with these posts. I use OpenBSD on servers all day long, but I type this from an ssh session initiated from my Windows system located on my desktop. If you want a system that's relatively easy to use for a desktop system pickup a Walmart $199 box, it has the cleanest Linux install I've ever seen. FWIW we blow away the Linux install on it for OpenBSD but we left one with it's stock Xandros install on for grins and giggles in the office. It's the slickest thing I've seen for the pointn' und clickn' user in the unix-like world.
