<html><body><p>So, I am starting a new personal project at the house, and I need a new server. As I was wanting to learn more about the *BSD, I started looking around at things like <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a>, <a href="http://www.netBSD.org">NetBSD</a>, or <a href="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a>.</p>
<p>Since there was a security part, I started with <strong>OpenBSD</strong>. 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 <a href="http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/bootable-OpenBSD-USB-stick-from-windows-td223393.html">bootable USB
drives</a>.
This strikes me odd, as FreeBSD has <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html">instructions (see
2.3.5)</a>.</p>
<p>Since I want to use pf, I am going to stay with OpenBSD for now.</p></body></html>
