hello misc, I am considering a move to OpenBSD, since I subscribed to this mailing list some time ago (~few months). I want to take advantage of security.
However, a programmer who I know personally and respect considers OpenBSD to be old-school, in a negative sense. He recommends Arch Linux as superior, because more new. Does the difference boil down to one's definition of free software, and then compliance with that definition? I have read up on this a lot, and this is a serious question. I have heard that it is unimportant what *nix you're on after a few years of using one or the other, in terms of functionality. I am interested in embedded devices. I think that bends the needle towards Arch, but the security of OpenBSD is also attractive. What considerations should I take into account? Regards, Charlie
