Question for Jeroen, what advantages does OpenBSD give us?
1. simpler design with none of the cruft that Linux distributions are increasingly becoming dependent on. 2. due to the simpler design, it's therefore easier to audit all code for security vulnerabilities and instability.
OpenBSD actually makes a very decent server/router, and I have used it as a desktop as well. The toolchain has some idiosyncrasies (they use an old version of `binutils`), but in general, what works, tends to work well.
Linux is fine, and I use it as my primary OS, but one cannot deny that OpenBSD has got a legendary track record for security with its releases, and as the Linux distributions pile on the complexity in desktops (PolicyKit, ConsoleKit, HAL, systemd, … ohh my!), maybe the Church of Puffy actually have a point. :-)
