I also arrived here from Linux, a little over 3 years ago in my case, though it was a gradual switch taking about 6 months to be complete. I've been impressed by the stability of -current compared with Arch and Debian sid. I agree that where you find support for Obsd is a major difference from Liuux. In addition to the resources mentioned above I'd recommend www.daemonforums.org as suggested in Absolute OpenBSD. I read this site regularly and I've consistently found people there to be knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Once or twice I've emailed the maintainer of a package I was having trouble with and found them very helpful. A. -- Anthony Campbell http://www.acampbell.uk
