I started using OpenBSD in version 2.7 in order to run qmail and djbdns due to DJB's suggestion, and have not found any reason to regret either choice. His weird ideas about "licensing" as well as hier (7) made it impossible to keep his stuff in ports, but it is by no means dead. Unfortunately, BSD licensing would never work for a part-time amateur programmer who insisted on total control. (But you know how crazy those mathematicians are. :-)
