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. 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.
