Jon, Starting with your documentation questions: AFAIK, OpenBSD's official documentation is limited to: * The definitive man pages. * The published FAQ * The PF User's Guide * All of the many miscellaneous web pages, such as errata, stable, etc. * Architecture specific installation docs The FAQ and the PF User's guide are available in pdf for printing, as well as plain text files. Individual man pages may be formatted for printing with groff_man(7). Regarding your question about the -stable tree, -stable contains: * -release * security/stability patches that have been published in errata * security/stability patches that were not important enough to publish * security/stability patches for ports For some architectures, -stable packages are made available on the mirrors. For more on -stable, see: http://openbsd.rt.fm/faq/faq5.html#Flavors http://openbsd.rt.fm/stable.html
