I moved *to* OpenBSD because I was able to get better support.  I could
always find knowledgable people who could answer my questions, and a
wide range of documentation that was consistent and accessable.  I was
never satisfied with docs or community support when I used Linux.
        If you are talking hardware or application support, it depends on the
audience.  If it's a very important issue, then I would say Windows is
the winner.

Another reason I use OpenBSD as my workstation is impatience.  I just
can't manage to sit through an install of almost any kind of linux.  I
also don't like hunting down software, I love the ports tree.  I think I
would have to be on Ritalin to sit through configuring a Linux kernel. 
I can configure a BSD kernel in under 20 seconds - literally.

I also do all my work in XFree86-4.2.....

goes unpunished...  To put a cherry on it, I also think Noam Chomsky
rocks.
