I also arrived here from Linux, a little over 3 years ago in my case,
though it was a gradual switch taking about 6 months to be complete.
I've been impressed by the stability of -current compared with Arch and
Debian sid.
I agree that where you find support for Obsd is a major difference from
Liuux. In addition to the resources mentioned above I'd recommend
www.daemonforums.org as suggested in Absolute OpenBSD. I read this site
regularly and I've consistently found people there to be knowledgeable,
helpful, and patient.
Once or twice I've emailed the maintainer of a package I was having
trouble with and found them very helpful.
