OpenBSD is the one operating system I purchase on every release, going back at least five or six years. There is a certain elegance to the release that just makes me feel good about using it, even though my day job has me at a Linux prompt 10+ hours a day.
Unlike other operating system/environments, where any hope of comprehending what/how they work after a few iterations is progressively more difficult, and significant architectural changes hose you for hours/days on end (on even simple things like assigning an address to an interface), the slow methodical evolution of OpenBSD stays true to its roots. And tools like signify and doas, new additions to the fold, are almost instantly comprehensible, and never annoy like some of the Linux architectural changes of recent years.
Highly recommended for people who want a reliable, predictable, full featured, and comprehensible Un*x class operating system.
