And...you forgot to say: "Sorry for my dumbness" to all developers that
give you an answer.
Now, you have to kiss all their ass.

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.
Best,
