Very good point, Jeremy. OpenBSD-current is *not* the way to start off. This is the only op system I've ever used which has generally been stable enough to use on a production machine, but that does not mean that newcommers should use it.
Start with the stock release, and then get some extra peice of junk to run -current on, and learn from there... --STeve Andre' On Thursday 22 March 2007 14:18:44 Jeremy David wrote: > Perhaps the better thing to say is that it takes know-how to run > current *correctly and well*. > > If you're just dipping your toes into OpenBSD.
