Well, I have purchased every set since 2.5 and have not been
disappointed. OpenBSD is much easier to set up a firewall or a secure
server than anything else I have used because they have put all the
right tools in all the right places.. My biggest problems have been
with the immaturity of some of the drivers. Most of those problems have
been fixed, though. Luckily they get a lot of code from the NetBSD
crowd.
