@romanzolotarev Thanks for the inspiration. I ordered Absolute OpenBSD and spun up a vps for learning & practice. I'm going to do exactly what you suggest and work through all the man pages. I've been in GNU land all my linux life, so this is something exciting and new.
@romanzolotarev tracking my progress on gopher --
@tomasino @romanzolotarev OpenBSD runs quite well on older hardware, so if you have an older discard machine around (several of my laptops have been hand-me-downs from people or companies upgrading hardware) you might try installing on real hardware.
@ed1conf my first thought was to put it on a spare raspberry pi but that apparently requires a serial connection and i don't have the hardware. VPS it is!. Once I get good with it I may swap my main laptop to it
@tomasino you are very welcome, sir. I'm always here to help you. Ping me any time.
