Hi Walter, You've come to the right place to ask this question.. In practice, any intermediate skill OpenBSD user will tell you the answer. Invest time, unless you're already burned into something else beyond salvation. Now go get some general books on web sites and stop mixing binary and text. You don't just read pcap files, unless your internal robot says "doit". I don't believe your story that you're that inexperienced, anyway. Why you are concerned with any attitude is your problem, manual pages don't yell at you. Neither do books and BSD people are precise and punctual. I don't see any of your points (being afraid of something) as rational. OpenBSD makes you more productive, by sparing brain and machine cycles. The UNIX user is eager to log in, try it, read the manual and do stuff.
