It is not designed for technically minded people; it is designed with security in mind and also a large amount of effort goes into making sure the code is well written. Yes many of its users are technically minded, but then there are technically minded people using FreeBSD and Linux, so i'm afraid your statement is rubbish - with all due respect. Learning how to use UNIX systems and shells and reading the documentation that's provided with the OpenBSD installation and on the OpenBSD website is all one needs to be able to grasp - that is not OpenBSD specific. It also provides an excellent development platform and a learning platform, which is why I use it. A person who might not have the skills to write kernel code for example doesn't mean they can't or shouldn't use OpenBSD. Provided one is willing to read and understand the information provided in man pages and other documentation - and ask the odd question here will have no trouble using and enjoying OpenBSD. I enjoy using very much and i'm not a skilled kernel programmer, for example. -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38
