Hi all,

This question comes from the fact that I plan to promote OpenBSD and
its use in my country India. I'll plan to start from my city Cochin
state of Kerala. One of the major problems I face is that nobody has
even heard of OpenBSD and most are used to MS Windows and GUI
interface! So initially  I'll have to provide atleast some of them
with a GUI of somesort till they get accustomed to the system.

I ''ve read some articles on hardening OpenBSD and also received
suggestions. They tell me it is not a good Idea to install a GUI or
compiler on an OpenBSD machine that acts as a firewall.

I would like to know whether having a light desktop like fluxbox will
considerably reduce security? And are there people out there who use a
GUI on an OpenBSD firewall? If so which GUI desktop will you recommend
for most security?

Thankyou so much

regards

Siju
