I am using OpenBSD 5.5 (amd64, US keyboard). Is it considered release or current?

FVWM stands for Fluxvox, right?

By "best practices" I mean the following:

(a) change/update the software sources/repositories. On Debian, I would change/update the repositories using sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

(b) the packages that are considered essential. On a minimal install of Debian OS, one would sudo apt-get install the following essentials:

xorg
gnome-core (or lxde-core/xfce/openbox)
synaptic
gedit
gdebi (which will also install nautilus)
network-manager

What essential packages do I have to install for OpenBSD?

(b) chroot/chmod some system files to prevent them from being tampered with.

What system files on an OpenBSD OS should I chroot/chmod?
