I may be a bit pedantic here but considering Michael's quote, he said *boring* not *useless*. This is also reflected in his second sentence "... making a *powerful* foundation ..." Having a small pool of OpenBSD machines running for web, email, CARPed firewalls and networking applications, I usually only install one ports package - puppet to have it fit into our configuration management
