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 [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org),
|
|
[NetBSD](https://www.netBSD.org), or [OpenBSD](https://www.openbsd.org).
|
|
|
|
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](https://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/bootable-OpenBSD-USB-stick-from-windows-td223393.html).
|
|
This strikes me odd, as FreeBSD has [instructions (see
|
|
2.3.5)](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html).
|
|
|
|
Since I want to use pf, I am going to stay with OpenBSD for now.
