Before you tune out: when I started with OpenBSD I had to get used to finding my way around. I was much more used to Linux, with their HOWTOs, etc. It took me a while before I really, truly believed the info was there in the man pages. For instance, the man page for vpn(8) that's in the base install. You won't find this on Linux, or anything close. There is no barrier, apart from a willingness to learn. You are fully expected to learn how the system works to some degree. If you do not, no matter which system you use, you will not really have much security. > I'll take a look at the ones you mention.

If you're thinking that Ubuntu is only a Live CD, it also has a regular install CD. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [email protected] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
