I tell people of the joy of puffy everywhere I go, at the busstop I shout "THEY CALLED IT BSD AND OPEN BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS FREE"
Seriously though, I now recommend OpenBSD to everyone as a firewall/server system for those migrating from that redmond thing. As a desktop OS, it's unfortunately a bit difficult to setup with everything needed by the average desktop user who doesn't care what their OS is. This makes me wonder - a desktop OpenBSD fork, similar to pc-bsd but based on FreeBSD might be a good idea.
