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 <http://www.freebsd.org>`_, `NetBSD <http://www.netBSD.org>`_, or `OpenBSD <http://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 <http://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) <http://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.
