Just to share my personal experiences with the OpenBSD Installer, I thought I would add to this thread.
I was a Free OS's *nix newbie trying to get around. At first, I tried Beta Stampede Linux, but it couldn't handle the hardware on my laptop. I could not figure out how to fix it, and it took me hours to read and guess about how it was supposed to boot up. Then I tried a Suse disc that someone gave me. Seemed to install great, except for the fact that it *didn't* work afterwards, and I couldn't figure out what on earth was going on. So, then Mandrake, but that just plain didn't work. Enter OpenBSD. I read a few docs, that take maybe half an hour to an hour, figure out a partition scheme, install. First try, first settings, system boots, and works: I am an OpenBSD fan since. Hardware was all recognized, the boot worked without bugging up with X (at that time my graphics card was a bit weird), and my media drives were all easily detected. Does it get any easier? -- ((name "Aaron Hsu") (email/xmpp "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (phone "703-597-7656") (site "http://www.aaronhsu.com";))
