I am new to OpenBSD. In fact, I am a total newbie here. After reading
many posts on this list, I formed the impression that all or most
OpenBSD users are high-end IT professionals.
I was wondering: are there OpenBSD users who are not so advanced in

OpenBSD is for the world. You have to ask yourself a few questions. Are
you an open source advocate? Do you like the freedom to use an operating

as OpenBSD being too technical and too difficult, as compared, say,
to Linux distros)?
One of the things that makes code good and secure is simplicity. That focus

OpenBSD has one of the fastest easiest installs of any operating
system out there. The doc is clean and excellent.
I've never heard less is more as an OpenBSD philosophy, but it is my
philosophy and part of why I like OpenBSD. I'm a geologist who does
programming in high level, dynamic

I have decided to adopt OpenBSD and use it for simple day-to-day tasks, as a desktop OS (as I would any popular Linux

Yes, it does most of the stuff Linux does, mostly except where

I am sure there are many OpenBSD users who are not IT professionals - I
am one of them. I don't know what your specific needs are, but I would
say that OpenBSD is good for anyone who is willing to read the FAQ

Zaf, I am not an IT professional and I run OpenBSD on my pc and laptops.
I've used it for years (since 3.0) and am very, very happy.
I haven't looked at comparable programs for powerpoint files, so I boot
Windows for those.

There are actually rather a few of us. I have a fairly large IT skillset, but
haven't had the opportunity to use them in some time.
ALso, I am virtually the only blind user of OpenBSD that I know of (use a

Please, give me some advice. If OpenBSD is not for me, I would rather
know it sooner than later.
I am not an IT Pro :) On the other hand I do run OpenBSD on
desktop/laptop. I am quite comfortable with it.

Hi Zaf,
I am an IT professional myself even though my daily work is far away
from the OpenBSD world, which is also the major reason I find OpenBSD
attractive.
I would say your reasons make good sense and so do your choice. It takes
time to learn but if you value the security-by-default
