Beyond what Diana said, which was excellent, go and install OpenBSD. The best that one of these clones can do is 1) not screw up, 2) Add some feature which could likely have been added to OpenBSD. You're trusting the comixwall folks to do things *right*. I'm not trying to cast them in a bad light, but a certain amount of paranoia when doing security stuff is a good thing. Go get the real thing and learn that. --STeve Andre'
