I love the OpenBSD installer.

The installer is perfect. Simple and fast. I prefer it over any GUI installer, and even curses-based installers.

@theif519 the bsd systems use 'ports' to install packages, and while root, type 'pkg_add -r' and the name of the package after that. Take a look at the freebsd documentation on their website, it should be helpful, and most everything should be compatible from the bsd's.

@glowcode What do I do? What command do I use? What do?

@theif519 oh man... you're really not ready for bsd.

How do you install Firefox? Does it use the apt-get or aptitude command? What do I use?

OpenBSD is a kick ass OS for a firewall...pf is included in the kernel, all you have to do is enable it. I have a spare box with Open BSD as a firewall and let me tell you, it kicks ass. Everything you need from a DNS forwarding server to a DHCP server, to a pf firewall, OpenBSD is the shit. With FreeBSD, I had to compile a custom kernel with pf enabled (I'm an old fart) whereas Open BSD had everything included. What a great OS.

@hrbear: Good Point...

@Yerzriknot: You are of course not serious when you say it is a overkill..? Please teach me why is OpenBSD overkill? Please do not tell me your experience with PC architecture, try something like OpenBSD/Sparc64 or VAX then Raid levels higher than 0 and 1 yea, i thought so... Nothing about OpenBSD is a overkill.. However, it is so far best in security by default, but that gets lost slowly as you start doing some extreme networking.

IMO OpenBSD is overkill unless you're running a server that you know will be a juicy target for crackers (government, financial ect).

Jesus christ, you were whining as a little boy. Get yourself your new, shiny compiz+beryl+hellknowswhatelse unstable linbox and stop whining about what you don`t even understand. Leave OpenBSD for the grownups.

Huh. So the good things I said about OpenBSD are wrong then? Also people who don't currently use OpenBSD should never look at it?
