Once up, the easiest way to see what you're running is to use "sysctl kern.version". You could use "dmesg" but ... dmesg's wrap, and if you are rebooting a system with a BIOS that does not clear RAM, you may have multiple dmesg's to sort through. On a freshly powered up system, "dmesg|head -3" should work. The sysctl always works, however.
thank you

OpenBSD 4.4-stable (GENERIC) #0

thanks for your easy help, the fellas at #openbsd on freenode are quite less helpful.

when i try to install opera with ports it stalls after it gets to 100%, don't know the reason why but I guess i'll have to find an alternative. (its not just opera, it did it for xfce4 too but i can just use pkg_add for it, opera i don't think it's on any package lists right?)
