OpenBSD is a server/router/network service OS. OpenBSD 4.9 had much more solid ACPI support than Ubuntu 11 on my Acer NAV50 netbook (Ubuntu will latch wireless network interfaces to off on wake-from-sleep half the time, among other things). I had to switch to Linux because Adobe will not port Flash to OpenBSD, and all the shiny plug-and-play stuff that comes by default with Lubuntu. OpenBSD ports was also really behind for things like Firefox. If OpenBSD had Flash, pulseaudio, Chrome with gtalk plugin and/or Skype, and good plug-and-play support for memory cards/USB sticks/external displays, it would be a perfectly fine desktop OS.
