The OpenBSD community has a reputation (sometimes deserved, sometimes not) for getting irritable when people ask questions that are answered in the documentation. To some extent, it's because the community isn't large enough to answer all the questions that come in, but mostly, it's because the documentation really is that good. Any changes to the system have to be accompanied by a change to the relevant man page, and they are usually as clear as possible. If you want to learn to use Unix (not some specific Linux distro, but Unix in general), you could do a lot worse than just starting with "man afterboot", apropos, and the tutorials in /usr/share/doc.
A post in-thread linked to the online man pages, here's the FAQ (http://openbsd.org/faq/index.html http://openbsd.org/faq/index.html). Another good documentation example is the man page for the filesystem layout (http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hier http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hier).
For this release, tmux (http://tmux.sourceforge.net/ http://tmux.sourceforge.net/) is in the base system, and there's a new security-audited SMTP daemon (http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=smtpd&sektion=8 http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=smtpd&sekti...). :)
