None of that is any better in openbsd, at least in my experience. pf would have been a seller, but all three bsds have that now. In my experience (of openbsd 3.6) you have less ported software, the system is slower, the installer is primitive, kernel/world compiles are difficult... and there's no portupgrade, which is really what brought me back to freebsd from netbsd. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about with openbsd, smells like marketing to me... (no, I don't want to get into a long 'your os is lamer than mine' scrum, thanks. This is my opinion, and it's worth what you paid for it.) -- Tempers are wearing thin.
