    Is OpenBSD useful for anything _besides_ OpenSSH? Sparkling clean, secure code is wonderful, but when it's years behind the times in basic software kits. The same problem applies in various ways to enterprise software bundles such as RHEL, but there we at least have Fedora to provide access to the leading edge tools if we need to trade stability for features.
