"Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form."

This is intriguing. I would certainly like to know more about what is happening with this.

From my experience FreeBSD documentation is often outdated and no longer applicable. In my opinion incorrect documentation is worse than having no information as it often causes more problems and frustration.

I ran into this problem as well at first. The issue is easily overcome as described at the following URL.

Can this easily be done from any Linux distribution? AFAIK it can not, instead they waste resources creating USB installs and images.

OpenBSD is made for developers by developers. Everything from configuration files in /etc to any system API calls are well documented in the man pages. They treat the man pages just as any other piece of the operating system. I.e. incorrect information in a man page is treated as a bug and dealt with just as diligently.

I moved from using Gentoo for 10 years to OpenBSD and have not looked back.

Edit; You gain quite a bit of time moving from Gentoo to OpenBSD because there is no requirement to compile or fix your operating system.
