Re: A guide about running OpenBSD on an usb stick

I fully agree with tomas on the Linux false docs, that is the reason
why i move away from Linux a long time ago. OpenBSD's Documentation is
just spotless. The Linux world of documentation still holds the circa
94' type of HOWTO type Documentation, where it gets a "follow someone
else's guide instead of reading the manpage because it's outdated"
guide this still holds true up to now Linux-wise.

OpenBSD is by far the most straight forward, Strict and clean
Documentation on Any type of software it has under it's hood.

As for your OpenBSD guide, I like the fonts :)
