No, I big to differ. If there's one thing that puts me off OpenBSD, it's the
installer. Have you tried using OBSD's install fdisk for the first time on a
pcvt25 or similar screen? That program is clearly made with a DECwriter in
mind.
Its FTP client also has some strange ideas about URLs, so it won't install off
many non-UNIX FTP archives.

Now, FreeBSD was just scary. I haven't installed FBSD yet, but I once tried,
and that install program was out of this world.

NetBSD's sysinst certainly has its fair share of quirks, but it's fast, yet
not too unfriendly.
