Gotta disagree with you on your minimalist verdict, out of the box openbsd tends to have everything and the kitchen sink, I am not complaining, it is good solid well written software. but I have never found a base linux distro that was as well stocked as a base openbsd install.

    a c compiler
    a web server
    3 routing daemons(bgpd, ospfd, ripd)
    a mail server(smtpd, spamd)
    a sound server(sndiod)
    a reverse proxy(relayd)
    2 desktop environments(fvwm, cwm)
    plus many many more

Openbsd is not some minimalist highly focused operating system, I mean what on earth is it actually for? based on the included features, A desktop development system that is also the router and office web and mail server?

Personally I love it, after a fresh install I always feel like I could rebuild the internet from scratch using only what is found in front of me if I needed to.
