I recently started using OpenBSD and so far everything is great. Especially the support on my laptop. I love the fact that the devs of OpenBSD care about security/privacy, which is a big plus for me and others.
|
|||
|

I'm in the same boat, started using OpenBSD some weeks ago and working with it is great. I use it as my private OS and i'm very happy with it. The only thing i really miss is something like Virtualbox (with usable performance) to set up some linux dev boxes.
|
|||
|
|||
I'm a fairly recent convert to OpenBSD also, (systemd made me look elsewhere in case it takes over Linux).
I also use FreeBSD on machines that are not supported fully under OpenBSD, & have used GhostBSD. What I particularly like is how small a basic installation is under OpenBSD, less than 1GB for Fluxbox with Firefox & Xmms. The same on FreeBSD comes in at around 1.8GB. As is mentioned in another thread, OpenBSD comes with cwm & fvwm as standard, so offers a choice of wm out of the box. (I'm a long time user of Fluxbox so automatically install it.) I must get around to trying out cwm. :) |

Also CWM is a neat window manager. |

I was using OpenBSD, then my stupid keyboard decided to not work.

cwm is the best WM I could find. It's light, fast, got tons of cool and useful features and is extensible with wmutils.
|

CWM is an amazing window manager. Will look into wmutils.

It's just a rehash of one I found on line, very basic.
Code: $ cat .cwmrc Here is where I got it. http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&s...0502141551 |

Currently use NetBSD/wmutils although I have used Free, Open as daily drivers and could be happy with any of them.

I wish all people using wmutils could give us some feedback on how they use it and what their experience is
|
|||
|
|||
Sure! New thread? Chef and I have been working together getting our wm-utils dialed in. I had thought of opening a 'My workflow' type of thread in the bbq forums.

Bumping this thread as I've recently discovered the joy OpenBSD is. I've been a happy linux hacker for long, but I mist say it feels great to use a "fully-complete" OS that's ready to use right after install!
The philosophies behind Linux and BSD are quite different, but both are interesting, and I'm convinced our world need both! |

That is also why I really like projects built in portable C, or ported from BSDs to Linux (with libbsd?, or in the other direction, but I am running Linux right now). GhostBSD may be my entrance door to BSD, as Ubuntu was for Linux: I was needing to see how a system can work while fully configured before to start setting up a new one on its own. But I have seen nixers starting with slackware as a first distro! |

Oh, Slackware being "the linux distro of the day"? I missed something!
|
|||
|
|||
|

If I ever have to choose a Linux again because someone pays me for that or something, I'll surely choose Slackware too. One of the last no-bullshit distros.

Lots of people I respect really like Void Linux (chneukirchen, gottox, and some more).
Maybe it's also a non-bullshit distro. |
|||
|
|||
Void Linux, NixOS and Slackware are the three which come to my mind. Admittedly, NixOS is a different distro.

OpenBSD is my most favorite one out there.
|

|
|||
I just started playing with OpenBSD. Enjoying it so far.
|

|

I've been meaning to try BSD out. Now with me throwing a server out of spare parts into the hall at the university seems like a good starting point. I messed around with openBSD a bit, trying to get full disk encryption set up, but the disk labels eluded me. I also found out that I'm not able to run a Teamspeak server on it, so I'll try FreeBSD when I have my hands on it again. (I'd use mumble, course, but moving people is hard.)
|
|||
|
|||
OpenBSD's encryption is damn easy to set up IMO. Can I help?

When I get my hands on the system I'll try again. I'll be sure to ask you if I end up having problems.

OpenBSD. And OpenBSD.

i started using openbsd on all my servers (mail, web, *dav, irc, xmpp) and i really enjoy it. in my opinion it is very well-engineered and clean. documentation is really great and helpful (you do not need google searches). additionally i like the community.
|
|||
|
|||
OpenBSD is my favourite. But in my actual laptop it doesn't support the network card.
So I used FreeBSD temporary before going back to Linux. |
|||
|
|||
openbsd right now, though I just learned there is no audio over hdmi suppport nor bluetooth. I don't use either of those, but just a heads up for anyone else considering it.
