my point is you will get much further with openbsd users.

no, but i do have to put food on the table and pay rent. i have seen 
many job postings indicating they do *not* want (in big bold capital 
letters) Linux admins to apply for the position(s). it was just more 
nudge away from linux that my coworkers thought it was stupid. at the 
time, i didnt know about openbsd. now i do, and i am much happier.
