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
