Bottom line is OpenBSD is a community of leaders.  There are many places
to seek info and get assistance from others more experienced, but in the
end to be a successful OpenBSD user you must have the motivation to search
for the answers you need and the patience to understand those answers once
you find them.

I have been playing with UNIX systems for years now and I cannot remember
the last time an answer to one question did not lead to another
question.  You just have to keep at it.

Oh yeah, reading helps too :-).  For those total newbies out there try
picking up some Stevens books or other OS/programming manuals and giving
them a quick read.  You may even surprise yourself by finding answers to
questions you didn't even know you had!
