Yes. Imagine someone who use computers, like 2 hours a week and use Windows. If you give him a computer with one of those GNU/Linux distros aimed at ease of use he will probably get along easily - until he receives a file in a proprietary format or need to use some wireless card. If you give OpenBSD to this person, he probably won't use it at all. > when people say "OpenBSD is for developers", that does't mean you > have to be as knowledgable as a kernel hacker to use OpenBSD > effectively. it means you'll get the most out of OpenBSD when you > approach it like a developer. developers *enjoy* figuring things > out on their own. of course, people who enjoy learning about a > subject do eventually become "advanced" at that subject, but that > comes with time. > Yes, I'm not a kernel hacker, not even a developer. But I'm familiar with *nix commands, reading man pages, etc. Unlike most computer users.
