Do all the cool kids run #OpenBSD? The reason I want to run it is because I just want to boot to console and because installing a desktop environment on it wouldn't be as easy for me as it is for me to do it on linux, idk.

Anyways, as a console-only mode OS (for my case (coding, browsing the web via lynx and checking mail)) would it be a nice choice?

@deavmi No idea about the cool kids, but you might just stop the X server from running on boot to get your console login instead of the display manager.

@deavmi True, but then you have to look at an X display manager first. ;)

@deavmi I thought your TTY switch point meant boot with the X server running and then switch TTYs, but I am apparently still mentally on vacation and not totally with it.
