Also OpenBSD isn't a multimedia platform, use FreeBSD if you want to 
watch movies and so on. OpenBSD is intended to be a server and be secure.

Don't mix, i think. The OpenBSD users (should) know this, if they're using it.

For a single, movie watching user, the security that FreeBSD provides, is enough.
