An Introduction to OpenBSD 

As someone who has only been running desktop OpenBSD for a few months now, this video was extremely informative. Thanks for putting this together.

Dante, glad to know you're part of this community; you did excellent. You have a knack for lecturing//demonstrating in a way that flows smoothly, as if you were having a conversation with someone. Thanks a bunch.

Choose OpenBSD for your Unix needs. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. An alternatve to the vulnerabilities and overengineering of Linux and its related network services such as NGiNX/Apache, OpenSSL, iptables/nftables, systemd, BIND, Postfix and much, much more. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland and the cleanest configuration syntax.

Thanks for the detailed information on my new favorite Operating System. I just started using OBSD on bare metal a few months ago. It's given me no problems whatsoever, even completely kitted out as a Desktop. Hope to see more.

Brother !!!!!! you are brilliant, explaining complicated things, you made them so simple and easy to understand. Thank you. I am going for open BSD right now

This was great! Really hope you’ll do more of them.

A great video of the finest OS. Thank you. I would love to see more. Regards from an old tinkerer in Sweden. :)

I didn't even know about systat OR mg! Amazing. That was really enjoyable the whole way through. Tons of fun useful content.

Greetings form Adelaide, Australia. Thanks for taking the time to produce this excellent, informative video.

I wonder, would the world be a better place if most everyday software was made the OpenBSD way? I mean, for example, if Windows 10 and Adobe Acrobat were made this secure? I'd say yes it would and It would also mean people could actually trust their digital devices. An ever larger part of our everyday life is digital yet a very small part of it is actually as safe and secure as we'd like to believe. Thank you for this introductory video, It was great. In true BSD fashion, OpenBSD seems charmingly efficient and powerful. How good is ZFS support inside OpenBSD? Is there support for Boot Environments?

It's great to see OpenBSD videos like this, nicely done.

Great video dude, watched through the whole thing. Even though I'm pretty familiar with the OS I learned a bit and thought you did an excellent job touching on all the "basics" and so on. Awesome stuff. Did you end up presenting more to your org about pf or other configuration/setups?

very simple & straightforward summary, very nice

Excellent video, greetings from spain👏🤝😎

great video introduction to OpenBSD!

Awesome video. I'd love to see more!

Excellent video. Thanks

OpenBSD 6.7 works great in Linux KVM :)

Subscribed. Hope u will continue to post more videos please. Thanks!

Great video, very instructive... just one thing: you don't need to put linux down in order to show the benefits of OpenBSD. For example: you show how _complex_ the "sudoers" conf file is compared to the "doas.conf" file. The fact is that most of the file you show were commented lines, and if you compared it to the examples in the man page for doas.conf, where you find: permit persist setenv { PKG_CACHE PKG_PATH } aja cmd pkg_add permit setenv { -ENV PS1=$DOAS_PS1 SSH_AUTH_SOCK } :wheel permit nopass tedu as root cmd /usr/sbin/procmap permit nopass keepenv setenv { PATH } root as root ... which does not look much different. In any case, I do agree with you that sudo appears to be bloated with features that 99% of the users don't actually use. Please , don't take me wrong, I find your video *very* instructive, and useful. Thank you! :)

Very, very informative ....thanks Dante :)

damn, this makes the average linux user feels sloppy, unsecure a mere pleb. BTW Thanks for the crash course in OpenBSD

Really good presentation!

Hi Dante, when will you post more videos?

Is it suitable for live systems? so for example with robotos suite and so on? doesn't the cryptographic correctness prevent it from being used as an electronic controller?

Excellent Video

Amazingly well explained

Great video, a good grasp on this amazing system.

Absolutely love the history lesson!

If you still want to do more videos, why not about maintaining and updating a system?

great and useful video! thanks!

Great video m8! Keep uploading!

Great overview. Nicely done.

Thanks for the talk.

FFS2.0 compare to ZFS?

Was just going to shoot an email, thank you!

It looks like you did nothing to set up pkg_add. I haven't tried openbsd but netbsd is a nightmare to get working. It installed ok but then i can't even get my script lang installed. I might try with openbsd.. :)

Great video!

thanks for the talk!

Could you please make a video on how to configure Open SMTPD in OBSD please?

How to installed intel-firmware ?!

Great talk thank you!

Great vid

headphone users, brace for your lives before you reach 35:30

Thank you !

Openbsd use systemd or not?

“AT&T lost, and was found guilty of violating the BSD license”? Not quite. The parties instead settled out of court. Also, even if a settlement hadn’t been reached, the court would only have adjudicated civil liability, not criminal guilt or cupability.

I once had a laptop where only OpenBSD could deal with the display. t this point I tested many Unixes and Linuxes. So OpenBSD did better than FreeBSD, NetBSD or Debian. I user right now Linux Mint but still like OpenBSD. Especially the idea of the filesets. And from my understanding OpenBSD would like to build every. Nonetheless I once got flamed on the OpenBSD mailing lists as a stupid Linux fanboy, which I totally deserved and which is still consider to be honored ;-) - The biggest problem in the Linux developer community ist, that they always throw away and start from scratch. Just look at their past firewalls or they dump ifconfig . So generally I consider the Unix commands as great tools, because we mostly do not not have to relearn new syntax or behaviour. Linux does this often. And then after 2 years they realize: Their idea was not so good, forget what we said. I consider some conservatism to be a feature, because its important to know your system. Linux is more like a science project, everything new and by compromising stability or usability. Why I use Mint than? Because I am lazy and I think Debian/MINT is also relatively conservative. And until now I did not have the luxury of two computers to sneak into OpenBSD again. And I need one system to continue to work. I hope to change that soon.

46:34 Is someone taking a shower while in the call?

If only OpenBSD has a better installer's interface just like NetBSD's

bad sound . not work sound !!!

Kvm qemu > virtualbox

OpenBSD is fantastic... but it also sucks. It lacks a useful desktop ... and certain tasks are just not automated sufficiently to be useful.

Guy seems very biased on openbsd being better than linux and makes excuses why it isnt as popular as linux

Widely considered the worst operating system of all time, rivalled only by Mac OS.
