Hi
I am new to OpenBSD. In fact, I am a total newbie here. After reading
many posts on this list, I formed the impression that all or most
OpenBSD users are high-end IT professionals.
I was wondering: are there OpenBSD users who are not so advanced in
terms of IT expertise? That is, who are simple computer *users*, not IT
professionals?
I need to know this because I am starting feeling that, as an average
computer user, I might be out of place here. I was attracted to OpenBSD
by its security-by-default philosophy. Admittedly, I don't know much
about security and I would not be able to set the proper security
settings on my own, so I have decided to adopt OpenBSD and use it for
simple day-to-day tasks, as a desktop OS (as I would any popular Linux
distribution). Does this choice of mine, and its underlying reasoning,
make sense?
Are there any significant drawbacks to my adoption of OpenBSD (such as
OpenBSD being too technical and too difficult, as compared, say, to
Linux distros)?
Please, give me some advice. If OpenBSD is not for me, I would rather
know it sooner than later.
Thanks
Zaf
