Experience of OpenBSD so far

November 7th, 2008

Had trouble convincing it to run in a virtual machine.

Partitioner is confusing as hell (using cylinders to determine partition size?!)

Install was very fast (10 mins)

FVWM is the default window manager which I hate.

Lacks binaries for libiconv and gettext so gnome won’t install.

Ports system is somewhat confusing

CVS won’t work

No wget! This is blasphemy! Have to use ftp to grab stuff!

OpenBSD is more complicated than Slackware and that is a difficult thing to have. Still, I have the most secure OS avaliable to the general public. I just can’t use it for anything.
