I second the thank you to the developers.
What I like about OpenBSD.
There are no black boxes. I can do a "ps aux" and very easily understand every process that is running and it only takes up one page on the terminal. I use linux for my desktop/laptop and it is great for that but there are pages of processes running and I have to hunt to figure out what some of them are. If I want to understand the boot process it is well documented and I can edit a few files and figure it out.
PF. PF is a great firewall with some amazing features.
Secure. Again only processes running that I want running.
Small footprint. I just downloaded the 5.6 AMD64 iso. 227mb. It got smaller from 5.5 to 5.6. You never see that.
I find it a pleaser to work with. It doesn't make a lot of assumptions for you. Easy install. Give it a try.
