As I was wanting to learn more about the **BSD**, I started looking around at things like `FreeBSD `_, `NetBSD `_, or `OpenBSD `_. Since there was a security part, I started with **OpenBSD**. One of the things I noticed quickly while doing my research is that while there is a lot of documentation, they do not really seem to care about making it easy for new folks to join the project, nor are the trying to support new-fangled hardware, like `bootable USB drives `_. This strikes me odd, as FreeBSD has `instructions (see 2.3.5) `_. Since I want to use pf, I am going to stay with OpenBSD for now.
