Present impressions .... the OpenBSD installer (particularly disklabel) is an awful mess, & the mailing list archives are best described as a dogs breakfast, although the man pages are generally infinitely more explicit than FreeBSD equivalents .... however the main reason I was interested in OpenBSD were the claims of "no exploits in 3 years". Judging from feedback in this list at list, the majority seem to feel the security claims of the OpenBSD folk are somewhat overrated.
