OpenBSD

Just a quick question for the community. Does anyone have any experience with OpenBSD? I am considering bringing up a secondary development machine/web server and would like to hear all stories good and bad.

its really something for paranoid geeks, but hey, isnt paranoia useful?
i would suggest you to only use it if you want to be sure to have a safe box (remember, the box is only as safe as the admin competent is)
development.. hmm....
well, all BSDs are rather compatible 8)

I see you posted this in March, but, here goes ;-). I used to administer an OpenBSD box that was a shell server and webserver. Never had any problems with it, did some programming on the box, added software for users, never had any problems. Anything specific that you're wondering about?
