Hi Bruno, I use OpenBSD 3.8 as my work desktop and it is extremely smooth and a terrific experience. I'd used Linux and then FreeBSD for years, but setting up X was the easiest ever and I have not had a single glitch of any sort yet (that wasn't due to my own ignorance). I run Fluxbox on my 3 yr old Dell, and use Ogle to watch dvds, opera w/ flash or firefox w/ java to browse the web. I also use Kate/Koffice to do word processing, Perl for development, etc. I also use a wireless nic, burn cd's, and even configured my laptop to be a (rarely used) print and file server for other Windows/Linux boxes using OpenBSD. Unfortunately, I have to occassionaly use a custom Windows app, Lotus Notes and support another sys admin who uses Linux and so I've set up a separate Linux machine running CrossOver Office and I just connect to that Linux box using Xwindows forwarded over SSH or straight SSH when I have to. I also strongly believe using OpenBSD all of the time now has made me a better Sys Admin (although I am still learning) and is making the use and administration of OpenBSD second-nature.
