    I am using OpenBSD as my main desktop and haven't had to open useless server daemons.
    Why most Linux distros enable those by default is beyond reason and logic. It's Windows 95 all over again.
    Also, when you do enable something in OpenBSD you read the documentation, you don't learn to type $sudo fewbar -nosmorking 123.156.34.5 from some seedy forum on the Internets.
    MacOS X could be nice if it didn't have that ugly GUI, but I doubt it can be as secure as OpenBSD if you don't burn the computer network cards.
