What is it about OpenBSD that I can't resist it? After the past long exchange about "our ultimate goal" and a lot of people advising me to go over to Solaris 10, I did, I removed OpenBSD from one of my machines and installed "Solaris Express Developers Edition". It was slick looking, very graphical with most of things you want to do, had Java SE 5/6 preinstalled, and had everything thing that I was expecting from OpenBSD.
But yet, after 2 hours of fooling around, I came back to OpenBSD. For one thing, it took me almost 1.5 hours to install Solaris, compare that to 30 minutes with OpenBSD, including 'packages', 'src' and 'ports'. The second thing was probably the knowledge that things are simple with OpenBSD, none of the complicated layouts thing as with Solaris. You could follow instructions from ancient books like "Practical Unix and Internet Security - Second Edition" to the T. Given all that, inspite of all the hammering I've taken over my comments, I'd prefer to stick with OpenBSD. Thanks to Theo and the core gang for delivering such a good, clean operating environment.
