I don't know what his problem was but....

Back in early September I bought a new netbook. A samsung NC20. It has
1280x800 video.

In the past I've had "fun" with video doing X so I thought I'd toss a
quick install of a Linux on so that I could get some X settings to plug
into my config for OpenBSD.

After trying seven (yes 7!) Linuices including Ubuntu netbook Remix, I
gave up and did a 7 minute install. I even told it to do an X login.

Fearing the worst, at the end of the install I entered reboot and
crossed everything.

And it Just Worked (TM).

I put fluxbox on and firefox and compiled the java plug-in so that I
could do banking and went to EuroBSD. (I had the ports tree on the
netbook, left it overnight)

Sweet! No workin' furries as spoonerising Aussies would say.

Tell that to whiners about 1280x800 with OpenBSD.

Thanks OpenBSD devs.

This life is not the real thing.
It is not even in Beta.
If it was, then OpenBSD would already have a man page for it.
