As a long time Linux user I will soon try out OpenBSD, I have been
reading the list emails and contacted 1 OpenBSD top person who was
very rude. There is some of the "RTFM" or "get lost" attitude in
Linux, but if a questioner seems sincere there is usually a certain
level of friendliness in Linux community towards them. Just what I
have briefly observed the OpenBSD community is more abrupt and less
interested in helping newbies, they prefer one find the answer solely
on their own if possible. I must say I detect a certain attitude that
smacks of superiority and even condescension at times. Is this a fair
assessment of 6the OpenBSD culture?

It has been been my experience that if you are willing to read the
relevant documentation and honestly try to fix your problem on your own
but simply cannot, the OpenBSD community will be *extremely* responsive
and help you.
However, if you ask something that can be resolved by a simple search on
google/the mailing list archives, then you obviously are not willing to
make an effort, and you will get a response like you did.
The amount of effort you put in before asking your question here is
greatly amplified in the response of the community, but unfortunately
for lazy people, 0 * 100 is still 0.
