I absolutely have to agree !!
I come from a Linux background and have been using OBSD
for nearly a month now and I simply love it.
I instantly replaced my Linux-Firewall with it and I'm thinking
about trashing my Linux File/Print/Mail Servers too and replacing
them with this fine OS.

Thanks to the OpenBSD-People and the people on this list.

Happy New Year 2002
