Re: What is you motivational to use OpenBSD

I'm a "linux guy" who wants a little bit more security...
I'm still learning openBSD, but I like the project's idea to build software with security in mind.Also, PF seems pretty good and I'm willing to learn it and if possible to deploy a CARP-ed cluster.

Sadly, I am still hesitant to try the gui... yet, there are a lot of stuff this BSD can be used for - from a firewall/router to a full blown Laptop distro.

And Of course, I love the documentation.
