While I get the joke, esilvaz1101, being new to OpenBSD, may be confused by its flavors. Explanation of OpenBSD's flavors (-release, -stable, & -current) are discussed in Section 5.1 of the project's official FAQ.

In fact, this is a good point to plug the value of the overall FAQ document. The official FAQ is the single best source of information on the most recent release (-release) of OpenBSD. Studying its content is the best thing newcomers can do to familiarize themselves with general usage. Many newbie questions will be answered by reading this document.
