Default New OpenBSD install on Lenovo ultrabook

Hello all,

I recently installed OpenBSD on my laptop, a Lenovo u300s "ultrabook." It's been mostly great so far. I was previously running Fedora 20 with KDE, but I decided to switch out of curiosity, as well as to escape some minor stability issues, and because I was attracted to the emphasis on security and code quality.

Had to purchase an external DVD drive to install from disc, and getting the wireless to work properly was a bit of an adventure. I actually registered on these forums to ask a question about installing wireless firmware, but solved it myself after doing more research on my own. The OpenBSD man pages are unbelievably good coming from GNU/Linux.

Anyway, thought I would say hello and introduce my system briefly. Hopefully these forums will be a great resource as I get more familiar with the *BSDs, and perhaps I will be able to answer a few questions myself.

Pavan
