One of the other sysadmins where I work has mostly used Linux, and got used to their various hand-holding tactics. I've been gradually moving us over to OpenBSD (and got them to purchase a CD set, and hopefully some meager donations soon). Usually, I handle the installation and administration, but he got stuck doing one.
I pointed him to the very good install FAQ, which he read, and came back with, "Man, it's been a long time since I've done any of this. I'm really nervous." Anyway, a while later he comes back and says, "It's done! I couldn't believe how easy it was." The only other point I'd make is that the current install method is just intimidating enough to discourage some folks that don't know enough yet to successfully run OpenBSD, although that's probably not intentional. I've seen too many good products ruined by the demands of people that don't understand what they're demanding, and it's good to see a product developed by a team that resists the mentality that you should always give the user what they ask for. - R.
