RE: OpenBSD 6.3 Released! A superior Operating System.
My experience with OpenBSD has been an absolutely positive experience. I've never experienced a Linux distro with this amount of stability, ease of configuration and quality documentation like OpenBSD. I have experience with FreeBSD too, but I by far prefer OpenBSD. You can install it on a server and you don't have to worry much about patching if use just the base install.
Pf is also by far the coolest Firewall in the world. If you use a Macbook then you should look into learning pf so you can write some of your own rules.
OpenBSD is a security junky's dream as it is really built by some hardcore infosec freaks that really practice what they preach.
LibreSSL is one of the greatest projects that has come out of OpenBSD in past 5 years in my opinion. Mac OSX only uses LibreSSL these days, no longer OpenSSL.
Btw if you wanna get into OpenBSD land then I suggest check the following two regularly:
http://undeadly.org/
and
https://reddit.com/r/openbsd
I visit those pages almost daily, as well as the MARC misc@ archives; those are always fun skimming through. Glad to meet a fellow fan!
Glad to hear that. I am also on most of the mailing lists. There are some great people in the OpenBSD community. One day when I'm grown up(I already am, but when my finances allow it) I would like to go to an OpenBSD hackathon.
