Hello, OpenBSD is a great operating system, glad to have been to installed it successfully.
I installed OpenBSD on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop with dual core 2ghz intel processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 120 GB hard drive (circa 2008 laptop) I had problems with firefox, but installed Chromium instead and Chrome works great for web browsing. I also installed bash and nano, and also installed Gnome. Hoping to use Gnome instead of the default window manager. But encountered a fatal error, the X server could not be found, and also a driver called xf86OpenConsole was missing, causing a fatal server error. When I installed it, I chose openbsd-dell for the hostname, and then OpenBSD tacked on attlocal.net to it to make it openbsd-dell.attlocal.net, but not sure how that happened, an nslookup on attlocal.net says it is an invalid domain. I am sure it must be a simple fix, here is my Xorg.1.log file: Thanks.
