Hello fellow Newbies,
I'm writing to introduce myself to the group. My name is Wayne and
while I'm new to OpenBSD, I'm not new to BSD and Linux. I started with
Linux back in 1999 and went through various migrations of distro's until
I got fed up with problems in the, then, new 2.6 Linux kernel. I got so
frustrated that I migrated to FreeBSD. I've been using FreeBSD on a
Firewall/NAT box as well as tinkering around with it on my main system
dual booting it first with Win2k and then with XP. I first tried
OpenBSD in 2003 and was totally lost so I concentrated on FreeBSD. That
is until a week or so ago when my FreeBSD 7.0 Firwewall box packed it
in. A friend gave me an old box put together by Gateway and I decided
to give OpenBSD 4.5 a whirl. I've got it installed and with the help of
the man pages and the FAQ's on OpenBSD's site I've managed to CVSUP the
sources and also to get the ports tree on the box. Now I'm working my
way through the PF Book to turn the box into a full fledged Firewall/NAT
box. When I get that accomplished, I've another older box that's going
to become a mail server for me.
Have a great week everyone!!
Sincerely and Respectfully Yours,
Wayne M. Scace
