[techtalk] OpenBSD vs. Debian 2.2

[curious]

To expand a bit on this.. openbsd has a MUCH smaller driver base.. before
jumping openbsd make sure your network cards and scsi cards are supported
(if any).

Jumping from Debian to OpenBSD requires a little learning curve since
devices/default shells and lots of commands behave diffrently and use
diffrent switches...

fyi
